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?
Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person.
What
position are you in now?
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.
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?
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: Nunu?
NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary. Read the question again
Okay, now the bonus round:
There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By
imitating the
action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself
to the
shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of
sunglasses, how
should he express himself?
Answer: He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.

He he he... I got them all right! But, how do you know I'm telling the truth? I might not be. The fact is though, it's logical thinking and not only that, I've seen some of them before. lol.
So, now I've earned a point for responding to you and I'm happy! See you when you have your next quiz ready.
Brightest Blessings! :-)
