OT.. 4 Easy Questions
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 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.
