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!



Lets try harder.


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...?

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?



How are you doing so far?




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.


I do hope you did better than I did on this stinking test.:icon_redface:

[supermotoC]

math is math - the last 10 makes you want toi round up to the 1000, not 100s.

You CAN overtake the last person, if you are on a circular racetrack, and if you do, you can be in any place BUT last.

Mary was easy.

First one can be tricky early in the AM.

Let's check out some singularity points here:

o Mary's aka Nunu, her nickname :wilted_rose: we don't know the others' real names

o You become first or second after you take over the second
depending on whether that 2nd was taking over the first at the same time.

o You become the one before last when you join the race after it had already started
