How Clever Are You?

cuddlyewok · Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:23 pm Post subject: How Clever Are You?

Below are four (4 ) questions and a bonus question. 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....

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!
*****************************************

Now answer the second question,
But don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?

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 arithmetic! 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.

If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day, is it?
Maybe you'll get the last question right....
Maybe.

Fourth Question:

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

Answer:
Did you answer Nunu?

NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
If you guessed Mary, well done!

Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By Imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully Expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

Answer:
He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple…

So, how did you do, in all honesty?

well erm it would help if theres answers?

EDIT: I now understand that you ahve to highlight it :L i got 4/5

StacFace · Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:20 pm Post subject:

I got all but the second right as I was trying to think of an answer and it confused me as I didn't get how you could overtake last so I guessed second to last and got it wrong.

But then again I have done all but the bonus and that one about last place before so that was an unfair disadvantage, I suppose.
