    Default How intelligent you are ?

    *Below are four (4 ) questions and a bonus question. 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!!! **


    **FIRST QUESTION:**

    **Y** ou 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, you take his
    place, so you are second!

    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 one,**

    **OK** ?*

    *



    **SECOND QUESTION:**

    **I**f 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:**

    **V**ery 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 is the total?**




    *
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    *



    **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: 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!**





    **Okay, now the bonus round:**


    **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?** *



    *
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    *



    *He just has to open his mouth and ask...

    It's really very simple.... Like you! * * ** *
