An interesting FWD i received:

Below are four questions and a bonus one too.
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:

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, you take his place, so you are second!


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 again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?


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..

You have 1000, 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!


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 and me (almost).... ;)

If u decided to charge me with the same, I already paid for a copyright, by making you read it.. if u think this disclaimer is stupid, then stop reading it... but the last line is very funny, i promise.. how many grey hairs do u hav? when was it that you thought last about jumping off a tall building? and have u still been stealing pens? if u really read the above questions, what can one tell about u... i was as desperate for a laugh and wanted to get to the last line... but bloody damm it, i never made up my mind to skip all the rubbish and go to the last line... cos i had already come halfway through the paragraph... gosh, frustration, irritation, blood boiling... where the £€!! is the last line?
Last Line: This disclaimer was not part of the originally FWDed message, I wrote it!
