Test for Idiocy

[Johnboy]

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.... 

Ready?  GO!!! 

First Question: 

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you now in?

 

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~

Answer:  If you answered that you are first, then you are

Absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person, you take his place, so you are second!

Try not to screw up next time.

Now answer the second question,

But  don't take as much time as you took for the first one,  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? 

You're not very good at this, are you?

 

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?

 

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ 

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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~ 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did  you Answer Nunu? 

NO!  Of course it isn't. 

Her name is Mary.  Read the question again!

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,  into the shop comes a blind man 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... Like you!

[Johnboy]

Confirmation, I am an idiot. :017: Thanks Johnboy.

I will admit - the arithmetic one had me questioning my sanity for a few minutes...

Also ... you can overtake the last person in a race by lapping her.....  :023:

[tm4tj]

stupid idiots

[SMEE]

Only one that caught me out was the overtaking the last person. Does that mean am smart?

[Johnboy]

No.....

[Glebeict]

  The first time I did the addition without the calculater I got 5000 --now i can not get it .

  Weird.

[Johnboy]

It is weird...

If you add the small numbers first, then add 4 x 1000 you do get 4100...

:024:
