tooty Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I found this at a dude's blog, thought it was entertaining. Make sure you scroll down just enough to read the question so that you won't see the answer each time. edit: oh ya, i'm 1 for 5. i got owned Below are four (4) questions and a Bonus question to test your perception, reasoning and the quickness of your logical processing. They are stated simply so you should try to answer them instantly.. To assure the accuracy of the results, you should not take your time, but instead, answer each of them immediately . OK? Let's find out just how clever you really are.... First Question: You are a participant 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 in second place! 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? Second Question : If you overtake the last person, then you are...? (scroll down) Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are WRONG again. Tell me, Sunshine, 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? Scroll down for the correct answer..... 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, and ??? What is the name of the fifth daughter? Did you Answer Nunu? Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary! Read the question again! Okay, now the Bonus round, i.e., a final chance to redeem yourself: 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? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He opens his mouth and ask for it... Does your employer actually pay you to think?? If so Do NOT let them see your answers for this test! PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

Cnussey Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 This is one of my favourites: During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director "How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?" 'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a Teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.' 'Oh, I understand,' I said. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.' 'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?'

Prothrombin Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 4/5, the only one that got me was the 2nd question. I reasoned that maybe you were tied with the person in last place, which makes sense because if you are both tied for last place you can technically overtake that person tied for last, thereby being 2nd to last.
