Gaaah. For the sake of having something to do....
=============
Below are 4 questions and a bonus question.
You have to answer them INSTANTLY and check if it's correct. Ayt?
Let's find out just how clever you really are...
[b]#1: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person.
What position are you in?[/b]
[spoiler]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![/spoiler]
[b]#2: If you overtake the last person, then you are...?[/b]
[spoiler]Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?[/spoiler]
[b]#3: 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 is the total?[/b]
[spoiler]Did you get 5000 ?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator![/spoiler]
[b]#4: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?[/b]
[spoiler]Did you Answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again![/spoiler]

[b]Okay, now the bonus round:[/b]
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?
[spoiler]He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple....[/spoiler]
G'night classmates.
