Below are four (4) questions.
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?

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...?

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

Mary's father has five daughters:
1. Nana,
2. Nene,
3. Nini,
4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?

I'll post the actual answers after a few people try to answer them.

DsBlu01CivEX · 10-21-2002, 05:23 PM

ok Mobbo...relax....i'll give the answers now. I was waiting until at least 3 people responded. Can't be too quick ya know (thats NEVER a good thing...slow is always better-unless you're in a race)
Answer:
If you answer that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong!
If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

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

Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it?
Check with your calculator!

Answer: Nunu? NO! Of course not; her name is Mary.
Read the question again.

DsBlu01CivEX · 10-21-2002, 06:40 PM

Noooo unfotunately they don't look like that. But that was a very simple adding question...but it was meant to trick us (which it did). It was a lot of trig, calc, geometry, algebra
