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!!! (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 get5000?






















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.








Any clever people get them all right?....no me neither :o

Being a man of superb intellect, I got them ALL right! Here's one for you: A man builds a house with every side having southern exposure. One day he sees a bear coming to his house. What color is the bear?

White. <-- Highlight right there for the answer.


I won't tell the logic just yet to give others a chance to think about it.

I got all of the wrong answers right. :D Now for those of you getting all of them right, you're not cheating are you? I was doing them as fast as I could.

Except for the math question. Even after I used a calculator I was still scratching my head. :o All well.

No I did not cheat I have just got that e-mailed to me so much I know all the answers. Now the math one that is confusing you.

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?

1000+40=1040+1000=2040+30=2070+1000=3070+20=3090+1 000=4090+10=4100

It is just that easy.

i got all but the overtake the last person, because that question is a technical inaccuracy if your discussing racing...if you overtake the last person your 1st...you've just lapped the poor chap :)

Actually the answer is "Clear."
Polar bears may appear to be white, BUT their fur is clear and their skin is black.

Yeah i know I got it eventually. But for about 5 minutes I was very confused. :o Math has never been my specialty.

Lets just take the last part of it then. What is 4090+10? It's not 5000. It is 4100.

Now 4990+10 = 5000. Get it? ;)

I did go and look at that link but it still doesn't seem right.

If you are looking at something black through a window the window will in turn appear black. So if the polar bear's hair is clear and their skin black wouldn't they look black?
Maybe the hair is opaque?

Nope, still don't get it.
Yes, I am that dumb. And no, I am not blonde.
And this is why I am failing geometry AND logic in math....

Here is the exact question as it was written, my answers are in BOLD italicized parenthesis. ;)

Take 1000 and add 40 to it (1040). Now add another 1000 (2040). Now add 30 (2070). Add another 1000 (3070). Now add 20 (3090). Now add another 1000 (4090) Now add 10 (4100). What is the total?

Okay, here's one:

How can you throw a ball so that it goes a short distance, comes to a total stop, reverses its motion, and then goes the opposite way? You are not allowed to bounce it against anything, hit it with anything, or tie it to anything.
