I got this in an email. <sarcasm>It made me feel really good about myself.</sarcasm> I thought I would share.
Below are four questions followed by 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? Click here for the answer
If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely WRONG! If you overtake the second person and you take his/her place, YOU are in second place! If you got that wrong, 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...? Click here for the 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's the total? Click here for the 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:
- Nana
- Nene
- Nini
- Nono
- ????
Did you answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary! Read the question again!
Bonus Question
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? Click here for the answer
It's really very simple. He opens his mouth and asks for it. Does your employer actually pay you to think?? If so, DO NOT let them see your answers to this test!

I was flogged by this quiz, didn't get a single one right.
I thought that was cool. I didn't get the math one right though. that was fun. But i still don't see how it is only 4100, oh wait!!!!!!!! I JUST GOT IT! never mind. okay.
I only got the math one right. I guess I don't think so good, but a day of kids will do that to you!
Um yeah, I got them all wrong! Thanks for making me feel dumb before I go to bed! jk It was fun to do! :) Congrats on your smarts!
I still don't get the math one, but I got Mary right and the race one right. Yeah, I really do get paid by my employer. Hopefully, they will not read your blog to know how pathetic I really am.
I got all of them but the math question...no wonder Jackson never comes to me for help with his homework!
I got them all right! However I have seen the quiz before.
okay, so I'm not good at math, but I know Mary so that one was easy, but had to think about the other ones. Good stuff.
here's to feeling like an idiot. Woohoo! I got the last one right at least. I'm visual not logical gimme a break. :)
That was funny! And apparently I’m not very bright. :)
