    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!!! (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?




    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 .

    I got four and 1 right. For the second one I said first because your just lapping the last person. And that is right.

    #2 could be first - As in if you are overtaking last, then maybe you are lapping them - But you could be any of the positions to do that I guess.

    Ah, but not necessarily. You could be running in any position (except last) and lap the last person. Now, how 'bout some pictures of Mary and her sisters!

    Either I'm totally demented or I have complete dementia. I'm not sure which it is. Maybe both, because I missed them all.

    #1 is flawed - If you are in a race with two people and you overtake the second person, you are now in first. (It doesn't say the second place person)

    That was my reasoning, too.

    Otherwise I answered all of them right (or better: as supposed ...).
