I only got 1 right *cry* how bout you?


Are you the weakest link? Below are four (4) questions. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time. Answer all of them immediately. Okay, let's find out just how clever you really are.
.
Ready?
.
.
.
GO!!! (scroll down)
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
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 and you take his place, you are second!
.
.
.
Try to do a little better on the second question, and don't take as much time as you took for the first question.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Second Question: If you overtake the last person, then you are in what place?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. How can you overtake the LAST person?
.
.
.
.
.
How are you doing so far?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
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?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Scroll down for answer..
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Maybe you will get the last question right?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Mary's father has five daughters: Nana, Nene, Nini, Nono & ____. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Answer: Nunu?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary. Read the question again.

KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE "SMART PEOPLE" IN YOUR LIFE!

I got the math one right. The first two I did what it said I would. The last one I just kind of stared blankly at it and decided I spent too much time so looked at the answer. How about the rest of you?

Feed my hungry soul.

I missed the first and got the rest, after getting into the right frame of mind.

It's not my fault! It's Spring Break, AND I just woke up! My brain is in uber-shutdown mode or something!

I got 3 right, but I was in school and not really paying attention.
Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

I got them all right :/ And I'd never heard any of them before!

Well, I've heard variations of the "Mary's father" one

Perhaps my score was the result of it being done at 6am just before going to bed. Yah, that's my excuse!

I got all of them. How is that addition one supposed to be difficult? I got 4100 the first time.

Actually, my teacher read that out loud to some people.

And some got 5000.

It's just how some people's minds work I guess.

Doesn't matter how you do it, the given is that you've done it. So, the trick "answer" given here is wrong. Without more information, there can be no correct answer.
