A funny test

[forre]

You should give quick answers without wasting too much time. And a main thing – not to cheat!

1. You are taking part in a race competition and got advantage of the second best runner. What position are you taking now?

Answer: If you answered that you are leading now – you are totally wrong. You got advantage of the second runner and took his position. So you are taking the second position now. Try not to fail the second question.

2. This time you got advantage of the last runner. What position are you taking now?

Answer: If you answered “the last one” – you are totally wrong again. Think again. How is it possible to get advantage of the last runner? If you’ve been running behind him thus he was not the last one.

Hmm … it’s impossible! It turns out that using your brain is not the strongest side of yours.

3. However, one more question. Don’t make any notes, don’t use any calculator and remember that you should answer quickly. Take 1000. Add 40. Add another thousand. Add 30. Plus 1000. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10.

What did you get? Answer – 5000? Wrong again. The right answer is 4100. Try to recalculate using the calculator. It’s definitely not your day today!

4. Maybe you get more lucky with the final question? Mary’s father has 5 daughters. The fist one’s name is Cacca, 2:nd is Cecce, 3:d is Cicci, 4:th is Cocco. What’s the name of the fifth daughter? Think quckly!

Answer: Cuccu? No! Of course, her name is Mary! Read the question again, please.

That was cool forre but I got most most of the questions wrong. I say "most" because I couldn't even begin to answer 2 and 4!
I've had too much to drink today so I'll blame my alcohol consumption for my brains inability to function this evening!

[Lцfberg]

hehe, yeah... I was right about 1, 2 and 4. But the third Q was tricky!

[QueenBee]

Whoa! I got this in the mail yesterday! Good timing
So it's pretty much unfair if I try to answer these 'cause I already know the answers :P

For question 2, you could be anyone but the last place runner if it is a multi-lap race and you are lapping the slowest runner.

Ahum, funny thing. I got it in the mail once and I swear I was dumbfounded at the answers. :P Except in this once test, they called you DUMMY (in much stronger words) at the end. :P

[karxwp]

gee the damn hamster (my brain) is still shocked...I only answered right the math one so sad...

[XSpex]

funny!
It seems today i'm thinking, I answered questions 2,3 and 4 right... very nice

[coolasfcuk]

Yeah .. I like it . thanks .. but
how can this be .. I got 5000 ..

1000+40=1040
1040+1000=2040
2040+30=2070
2070+1000=3070
3070+20=3090
3090+1000=4090
4090+10=5000 ..

but when I use callculator = 4100 ????
how come?

I can see that when we use calculator ..after the 4090 when you plus 10, its become 4100 ..??

is there a bug in calculator or am I seeing things??


Edit:
oh okay !! I got it !! LOL LOL .. thanks Forre .. damn .. my brain got confused !!!

[russkayatatu]

denial: it might be easier to see if you add up the thousands first (1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 1000 = 4000), then add up the other numbers (40 + 30 + 20 + 10 = 100).

What you wrote:

4090+10=5000 .. there's the problem

Edit: Ah, forre I see you beat me Thanks this was fun - my favorite questions are the first two (tricky, tricky, and they get you nice and rattled so you're more likely to slip up on the last two)

For question 2:

If you are the first runner and it is a circular track, then you will be behind the last person

[coolasfcuk]

well...here is another funny test that is cirrculation around my office all morning today... so I thought I will share it with you people

Remember....do Not cheat....

Ok...ready....here we go....

think of a number.......

it must be between 1 and 50.....

it must be two digits.......

they both have to be odd......

and they can't be the same........






............... ready???..............


ok......


was it .... 37 ???

haaaaaaaaaaaaa, if it wasnt... you dont fit in the average statistics.... 'cause they say almost everybody picks that number almost everybody in my office picked it... not me

[kishkash]

w00t i never picked that number

GO 17 GO!

what's "average" anyways?

[freddie]

I guess I'm not an average person. And I got the 4100 from that old forre test correct as well. I know I did that one before and I got 4100 as well. LOL

I have just seen this"test" !..hmm...a speciallist?...I didn't know it, I discover it today!..
You know something?..You make me laugh, You ...

[DAZ]

Ok heres one to try it only takes a minute..


Don't cheat by scrolling down straight away..

Work it out as you read


1.First of all pick the number of times a week you would like to eat dinner out(Try more than one but less than 10)

2.Multiply this by 2(Just to be bold)

3.Add 5(for Sunday)

4.Multiply it by 50(i'll wait until you get the calculator)

5.If you have already had your birthday this year add 1753...If not add 1752..

6.Now subtract the 4 digit number of the year you were born ie 1983

You should have a 3 digit number now.
The first number is the number of nights you wish to go out for dinner.
The second is your age(Oh Yes it is )

This only works this year apparently.
