How smart are you?

[Fat Tone]

Are you the weakest link? Below are four (4) questions. 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 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?


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

If you overtake the person in last place you have lapped them, you might be in any place but last.

Got them all

MAN! Am I glad this poll is anonymous!

[GNEP]

I think I've seen too many numbers already this year - I got the adding one wrong (Says the person whose job is to fiddle the numbers on a VERY large scale!)

Also missed the "overtake the last person" one.

Got the other three though!

[mmp121]

Silly me, I got arrogant with the last one, and didn't think it through! Darn Mary!

3/4

[Jammrock]

I've taken it before so I got a perfect score.

I did their online test and passed.
Too bad I'm not a native English speaker cause my score would have been higher.

So out of four questions you got 2 wrong, and you got the other 3 right? Man, you REALLY need to learn how to add.

1 point penalty for YOU!

[GNEP]

Hehe let's just call it another little "smartness" test I thought I'd set - looks like you're the only one to twig!

[Fat Tone]

Nah, I spotted it but thought you were being rather subtle, or forgot the smiley and I didn't want to look churlish.

Not that I'm suggesting Kooldino looks churlish.
