warren Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 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. No looking at the answers in advance. 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 for the first 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? He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.

mistymjohnson Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Looking for the tricks is difficult though when trying to answer it 'quickly'. That is what flubs most of us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinzWin88 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 This test can totally kiss my @$$.:laugh: 1/5, with the blind guy question being my only right answer. I'm pretty smart, but I SUCK at gulibility tests like these. It's a wonder I got one right. Here's one that worked on me before. I'll post it mainly because I want to get the thread creator: A woman lives happily in a one-story house. EVERYTHING inside is green. What color is the sofa? That's right, green. What about the toaster? What about the telvision, or the radio? Green. What about the fridge? You got it, still green. What about the stairs? There are no stairs because it's a one-story house. I wouldn't be surprised if this fools nobody since I was like...10 when someone tried that on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I wouldn't be surprised if this fools nobody since I was like...10 when someone tried that on me. I had never seen it before, but as soon as I read "one-story house" I immediately expected a question about something on the second floor...

SkinzWin88 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Heh. I expected it to be more effective in real life with attrition wearing on a ten-year-old kid with ADD after you've asked him "what color is the...?" five hundred times. Hey, give your kid relatives Dimetapp and try it on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 you're kidding right? L-1=L I agree, but think about it. The question was asked in a sort of first-person point of view. So if you overtake the last person "in front of you", then you are second to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
