Questions
POSTED in: Daily Life

Here are some fun questions. I found them at a lifejournal, but can´t remember which link. Be careful! Below the question, is the answer. Be sure to only read the question, and when you know the answer scroll a bit down to check.

Have fun!

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?

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.

    Jen, calculate the small numbers first. 20+30+40+50. And then the thousands. You get 4100. But when you do it like it wants you to do it, you get 5000. I have no idea how that works either.

    My favourite is the adding up question. It can confuse any mind into a foolish answer! Everyone knows that 40, 30, 20, and 10 dont make 1000, your brain just thinks so!! XD
