How's YOUR Brain Doing?


1st 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 to do better next time.

Now answer the second question, but don’t take as much time as you took for the first question, O.K.?

2nd 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 sunshine, how can you overtake the last person??

You’re not very good at this, are you?


3rd 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 and 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.

If yo 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 ………………. !


4th Question:

Mary’s father has five daughters:
1. Nana
2. Nene
3. Nini
4. Nono

What is the name of the fifth daughter?


Did you answer Nunu? No of course it isn’t! Her name is Mary – read the question again!

OK, now a bonus round i.e. a final chance to redeem yourself!


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 made.

Next, a blind man comes into the shop and wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How does he indicate what he wants?


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 FOR THIS TEST!


PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!

HAVE A NICE DAY, ONE AND ALL
