    4 "tricky" questions to make you feel like a fool

    Yep, I missed 'em all... how 'bout you?


    Tricky...

    Subject: Are YOU the weakest link!!???


    Are you the weakest link? 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?



    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 he 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?


    Fourth Question:
    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

          That 2nd question is somewhat wrong.

          If you overtake the last person you could be in any position, but you just lapped them.

                    Only if the race is laps around a track. The questin assumes (but does not specify) a non-repeating course.

                      I got em all.
                      But I mighta cheated on the math one. I didn't add them in order, I added all the 1000's then went to the double digits..
