Ready? GO!!!(scroll down)
First Question:
You are participating in a race You overtake the second person. What
position are you in?
Answer:If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong!
If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
Try not to screw up in the next question.
To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the
first question.
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong
again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this! Are you?
Third Question:
Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another
1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000 Now add 10. What is the total?
Scroll down for answer.
Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your
day. Maybe you will get the last question right?
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?
Answer: Nunu?
NO!Of course not.
Her name is Mary . Read the question again
Okay, now the bonus round:
There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the
action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the
shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how
should he express himself?
He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.
KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!
I started off Ok but then it all fell apart - will try this on my father, he claims to know everything and never gets anything wrong ;D We'll soon see!!!! ;D
Oh dear, now I feel there is something really wrong with me. I got them all right and was looking for the catch!
Messed them up completely!
Got the last one right but really messed up with the others. It gave me a good laugh though, so didn't feel entirely foolish. ;D busy_lizzie
Got them all, except the math question. I have done that one before, and always thingy it up! ::)
I only got one wrong - the trouble is it was the maths one and I have got that one wrong before :(
Oh by the way my answer to overtaking the person was 'do not know the position but I will have lapped them.'
Tripped up on the first one, got all the others ok ...
Derekthefox :D
I got them all right.
But then again I've seen this before. Is that cheating?
Still makes you think.
;D ;D ;D ;D
I used to be good at these at one time, now I put it down to my senior years ...
