See if you are the SMART one!!! Try this!

Below are four (4) questions. You have to answer them instantly.

Let's find out just how clever you really are.

Ready?

GO!!! (scroll down)


First Question:
You are participating in a bike 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.



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.
You ARE the WEAKEST LINK!!!!!!
Good-bye!!!

By lapping the last person. Something Michael Schumacker does with monotonous regularity :p

Plus the 'take 1000' is just exploiting and an language ambiguity...

[Vez]

LMAO, you still dont get it do you....

The thousands DO add up to 4000, the other numbers add up too 100 hence 4100!!!

lol

[StuyMac]

Vez is right :)

Though they are just mind / wording questions, perfectly simple if they are carefully read and everything is taken as its written :)
