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.

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.

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.
Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person? YOU are 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?











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?
(a, e, i, o, u)?








Answer:
Nunu? NO! Of course, not. Her name is Mary. Read the question
again
 
Grrr..

1) Missed it. (I blame the fact I just had lunch and am fighting to stay awake)
2) I said 'first' because you must be on a looping track. Unless of course you weren't participating in the race in the first place and only passed the guy in last to make him feel worse. In that case you still don't hold a 'place' and have an odd sense of humor.
3) Found this one very easy.
4) I blame the lunch thing again.
 
Hey thats brill!!

I've just had ice cream though and have brain freeze!! lol
Thats why I didnt get all of them right!!!!
xxx
 
Still can't figure how that number problem works... and the sad thing is that I work with numbers on a daily basis :confused:
 
Got all these--though I think I might have seen this before, and don't recall how well I did then. For the third problem:

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

That is amazing! I am not only posting this elsewhere, but will send it to people I know through e-mail. I cannot believe I fell for each one of those, especially the last one about Mary’s sisters. DUH!! haha

Thanks for the thrill... :)
