    Are you ready to race?

    Below are five questions.

    You have to answer them quickly.



    1st question: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second place 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 then you take his place, you are in 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 question, OK?

    2nd question: If you overtake the last person 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?

    3rd question: Some tricky arithmetic, Note: this must be done in your head only. Do not use a pencil, paper or 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's the total?









































    Answer
    Did you get 5000?

    The correct answer is 4100. Do it again.

    Maybe you will get the last question.

    4th question: Mary's father has five daughters 1.Nana, 2.Nene, 3.Nini, 4.Nono. what is the name of the fifth daughter?








































    Answer
    Did you answer Nunu?
    No of course you didn't, its Mary. Read the question again.


    5th question:
    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, a blind man comes into the shop 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!

    Hope it made you smile.

    The math one messed me up thinking it was 5000 in my head and Mary's father made me think twice. Pretty cool quiz though

    Surely you can overtake the person in last place. It just means that youre first, are an awesome driver, and are lapping him...

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Wondered how long it woudl take before this was suggested.
    Overaking isn't lapping I mean if it was then you'd just call lapping overtaking woudln't you

    Yeah I think the overtaking the last person one is wrong, because if you overtake them, they are indeed in last place now.

    The only one I didn't get was the 5 daughters one. The blind person one was dumb.

    Cool quiz Cyco, though the third question tells me I should go back to first grade rather than first year college
    Nothing to say...

    Chris, thanks for posting that. It was an enjoyable quiz.
