Are YOU the weakest link?

Below are four (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!!! (scroll down)





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
screw
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?

Scroll down for 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?





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!!!!!! Pass this along to someone else who could
stand
a little fun and a challenge today...

Today's email from a friend. ;-)

"OK?" Yea, I'm OK.

"Ready?" Yep.

"What position are you in?" Seated.

"If you overtake the last person, then you are...?" Soon-to-be EX-Senator Mary Landrieu.

Thanks, Loddy, that was fun...MUD

LOL. I always like this one. However, assuming an oval track, if you overtake the last person, than you have "lapped" them and are likely in first place.

Oh, man, I must be foggy as London-town, and failed your pop quiz miserably...have always tried to be humble about my God-given talent for overlooking the obvious.
