'Way Off-Topic, but I Couldn't Resist ...

Are you the weakest link? Below are four question. You have to answer them instantly.





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 with the first.











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: Math! You must do this 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 the 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. Okay here is the last question.



Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the 5th. daughter?




















Answer Nunu?




NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary. Read the question again. KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE "SMART PEOPLE" IN YOUR LIFE!

not fair...

Hey Chuck -- the ONLY reason I screwed three of the four questions up is because I was also on a distracting telephone call. So much for my multitasking capabilites. I can't wait to have my 15.5 year-old son (who pretty much knows everything) run through this.

These remind me of a coworker long ago who posted some kind of Mensa stuff on her wall. It was supposed to be done quickly so one day I casually noticed the ten questions and clicked through them, 100% right. Pissed her off to no end, she would never believe that I hadn't stuidied and pondered the questions an advance. Of course, I had, but I never admitted it to her--she was too pompous...

Thanx for the giggles. See my flex disc post for why giggles are helpful today.

Chuck - for #2, you could be the leader lapping him, that's what I thought. I screwed up the first one too, but got the others right.
