Here are some tricky riddles that I found somewhere in the cyberspace. Try answering them AS FAST AS YOU CAN & INSTANTLY with only using your HEAD. ENJOY & GOOD LUCK! RIDDLE # 1: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RIDDLE # 2: If you overtake the last person, then you are...? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RIDDLE # 3: (Without using calculator or pen, try just using your HEAD. This is fun) 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? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RIDDLE # 4: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

You would cross the finishing line as the runner up as the second person is behind the winner. Depends how many people are running, but you would be second to last. 5000 Mary Am i right?

I just re-read the questions and number 2 must be wrong as if i was in the race then i would be the last person, however it does not say that i am and i can not therefore overtake the last person.
