Are You Stupid?

[Jynx]

Got this in an email, if your tired you have no chance ;)

A Competition people:

ARE YOU THE WEAKEST LINK?

This is kind of fun to do, but it is tricky.

Below are 4 questions. Answer them instantly.
You can't take your time.
Answer them immediately. No pencil or paper!
OK? Let's find out just
how smart and 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 answer that you are first, then you
are absolutely
wrong! If you overtake the second person and you
take his place, you
are second! Try not to scr ew up in the next
question.

To answer the second question, don't take as much
time as you took
for the first question. (You know you took too
much
time.)

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 math! 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?

ANSWER: Did you get 5000? The correct answer is
actually 4100. Don't
believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is
definitely not your
day.
Maybe you will get the last question right?

LAST QUESTION: Mary's father has five
daughters: Nana, Nene, Nini,
Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

ANSWER: Nunu? Nana? Nene? NONO! Of course not.
The fifth daughter's name is
Mary. Read the question again.

You ARE the WEAKEST LINK!!

[Jynx]

[BirdofPrey]

[Drazhar]

lol...to be honest i did only get 2 of them right, but the one about the calculator is weird as the wording is misleading and could mean two things.

[tuBBymAN]

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?!

Its called Lapping them :) so the correct answer to that question would be "second to last place or any place up to and inculding first"

Just to be picky ;P
