Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question.
You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them
immediately. OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are....
Ready?... GO!!!
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 next time. Now answer the second
question, but don 't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
(scroll down)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 arithmetic! 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?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day, is it? Maybe you'll get the last
question right... Maybe.
================================================================
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene,3. Nini, 4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
=====================================================================
Okay, now the bonus round:
A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a
toothbrush By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he
successfully expresses himself to the
shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to
buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he
wants?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He just has to open his mouth and ask...It's really very simple.
=========================================================================
PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE, LIKE I DID!
Have a nice day everyone

I love the math question. Five times my answer was 5000. Even after I used a calculator, I didn't believe 4100 was correct. I readded three times. Great Question. Also, I like the daughter question. I almost missed it too. John

Well, you got me thinkin' (Miss Kitty did too:wub: ) and I came up with 4100 on the calculator. But when I did it in my head, I came up with 5000. So, what do you think the trick is..

regarding the math question, I believe our mind begins to focus on the zeros, so when the total is 4090, by adding 10 we think 90+10= 1000, thus, the total is 5000. That's my excuse for the math question, and I am sticking to it. I have no excuses for the other questions I missed.

:lolabove: ...I love this! I told my friend that sent this to me that if this is a dementia test, please don't tell Mr. K how badly I did. If he finds out...I'll be in a home. :wave: Part of my problem ;-) was keeping true to the rule of doing it quickly.

Oh Gang...this was brutal!! I HATE being organically stupid :blink:
I haven't popped up on my own shoulder and watched myself be SO DUMB since one of the math equasions of my youth:
(Me) Jager Shots + Smoking the Wildwood = Major IDIOT. :funn::funn:
