Test
for Fun
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!
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 maths! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take
1000
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?
Did you get 5000?
Today is definitely not your day.
The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't
believe it? Check with your calculator! 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?
He
just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple!
