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 mess 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..
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?
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

I answered first one as you predicted - first!
But than I was alert and gave all other answers right.
The last one I heard before in another form.
I couldn't understand the trick behind the math one. How can one comeup with 5000? It is simply 4100!

It happens because after reaching the total of 4090, when you are asked to add 10, the human mind suddenly jumps to 5000. It happens. Try to do it fast, and at some other time.
