How smart are you???

Here is a very simple little test comprising of four questions to determine the level of your intellect. Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting time. And no cheating.

Marks, set....GO!!!

1: You are competing in a race, and overtake the runner lying
in second place. In which position are you now?

Answer: If you answered that you're now coming first then you're
completely wrong. You overtook the second runner and took their
place, therefore you're coming second.

For the next question try not to be so dim.

2 : If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now
in?

Answer: If you answered second-last, once again you're completely
wrong. Think about it...How can you over take the person coming
last? If you're behind them then they can't be last. The answer
is impossible!! It would appear that thinking is not one of your
strong points. You would make a good weak link!!!

Anyway, here's another to try, don't take any notes or use a
calculator, and remember your replies must be instantaneous.
Take heart!! (that was the dictionary's suggestion)

3 : Take 1000. Add 40.
Add another 1000.
Add 30. 1000 again.
Plus 20. Plus 1000.
And plus 10.
What is the total ?

Answer: 5000??? Wrong again!!!! The correct answer is 4100. Try
again with a good calculator. Today is clearly not your day!!
Although you should manage to get the last question right...

4 : Marie's father has five daughters:
1. Chacha
2. Cheche
3. Chichi
4. Chocho
5. ????
Question: What is the fifth daughter's name?

Think quickly...you'll find the answer below...
Answer: Chuchu??? WRONG! It's obviously Marie! Read the question
properly!

You are clearly the weakest link....GOODBYE!!!!

Dan,

You obviously have to much time on your hands! At least make them fishin related questions for petes sake. How about......Your in a derby and you catch a fish that puts you ahead of the angler in 2nd place...what is your current standing?

I am sure that this would have confused just as many folks as the other one did......Hey, just a little kiddin here....again I 'll say...you are doing a great job with the site and a little humor is needed whenever we can get it.

Thanks.......Len

Len,

Never mind the the fact it's non-fishing related. The question is did you pass the test??

Question 2 the answer is wrong, you have lapped the last place runner but there is no way of telling what position your in.

moneyball · **Posted:** Wed May 20, 2015 1:03 pm

Thats what it says, that it is impossible to answer.

polliwogg · **Posted:** Wed May 20, 2015 3:05 pm

They said it's impossible to pass the person in last, but they are wrong because you are obviously on a circular track where you can pass the person in last place. They said it's impossible to answer but for the wrong reason.

lol, good enough.

Always hopeful · **Posted:** Thu May 21, 2015 6:25 pm

If u r the only one that lapped the last person then u r in first
Cheers Rob

With the information provided, it is ME, running, lapping the guy in last place who is in worse physical shape than me. therefore it is a very short circular track less than 100 yards, and I just passed the guy that died at the starting line. Probably a 2 man race and I won and there had to be money involved..
