Below are 4 questions. Answer them instantly.
You can't take your time.

Answer them immediately. No pencil or paper! OK? Let's find out
just how smart and 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 answer 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. (You know you took too much time.)


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?!




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?
















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?


LAST QUESTION: Mary's father has five daughters: Nana, Nene, Nini,
Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?














ANSWER: Nunu? Nana? Nene? NONO! Of course not. The fifth daughter's
name is Mary. Read the question again.





You ARE the WEAKEST LINK!! Pass this along to someone else who
could stand a little fun and a challenge today.


Si.

i got the 4100
but failed the others

which isn't the biggest failure i have had today

i use a well practised cramming method to study for exams, problems arise when i get the days mixed up and study for the wrong exam!!

SEI POWER
The NOS Guzzler with more posts than you - - is Donz

No Grand Slam for me then ;)

(Me or the car? Actually, you're right on both counts ;))

Oh, and I almost forgot:

LOL i got the first one

"The Not so Fast but Furious"
Who cares about my post count - it's all about quality not quantity!!
(at least thats what i tell myself anyway)
 
i got all 4 cos i'm a smart ass :D

the descent into insanity continues unabated
 
I can't find anything in a quick Google search...
but my best guess is that it's down to not being able to carry the two separate column running totals "in your minds eye", and when you get to carry over to the hundreds you add it to the last one you increased - I.E. the thousands.

But I might be wrong - 'cos I got that one right :p
