Some of you may have already seen this before. For those who hadn't seen it, enjoy! It's fun! :wink:

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!!!



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.

KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE "SMART PEOPLE" IN YOUR LIFE

got them all right, but thought about each til i got the right answer, because my immediate answer was incorrect for the 1st 2 questions, and i think i'd seen all but the last question before. incidentally, you *can* overtake the last person, if you're running on a circular track.

i need more questions of this sort, so i can find out if i'm catching on.

Standing ovation for yitwail! Brillant, the crowd is going crazy! Laughing

I have a question. If a person dosn't get all of the answers correct, does that mean they are mentally challenged? Laughing Shocked Hey wait a minute, I think I just hurt my own feeling. Oh nooooo. Laughing

Does anyone else have a poor joke they would like to share?
