Are you the weakest link? Below are four (4) questions. You have to answer them quickly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately.
OK? Let's find out just how clever you really are.
Ready?
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 mess up in the next question. To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took on 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? Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't believe it? Check 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.:D

I got the first two right, I got caught up on the math, and I got the last one kind of right, I had my doubts so I read the question again before I answered... got it though!
Thanks a lot, Grady and I could not figure the math one out at all, calculator and all! Then when we finally got it, we felt reall silly! :):)
Nice Firmy, thanks for the nice laugh this morning! I will get you! LOL

Starty, that's sad, I only got the math question right, the rest, not so much. I will go hide in my corner now and talk to myself. Firmy, remember, revenge is sweet. ;)

I've had the maths one levelled at me before and I still got it wrong.

I did get the Math one right,which is quite a surprise as I was really bad in Math during my school days.

All the others were way over my head ;) Duh!

It's like the questions trick your mind by showing you different patterns. There's this awesome guy who does stuff like that all the time... Derren Brown. I cannot, for the life of me, find the video on YouTube, but he tells you to think of a random card in a TV spot, and while he talking, he gives visual clues to you without you realising it... and you pick the card. It's creepy, but if you know about it or watch it a second time, you can see how he does it.
