How Clever Are You?

[imported_7aint9]

Below are four (4) questions.

You have to answer them instantly.

You can't take your time, all of them immediately.

OK? 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 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.

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?!





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're not very good at this are you?

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:

1. Nana,

2. Nene,

3. Nini,

4. Nono.

5. ??????

What is the name of the fifth daughter?








Answer:
Nunu? NO! Of course not.

Her name is Mary.

Read the question again.



You ARE the WEAKEST LINK!!!!!!

Good-bye!!!

Now add another 1000.

Now add 30.

Add another 1000.

Now add 20.

Now add 10.

how the fuck is that possible even if u do it with a calculator cuz there r 4 1000's and then there is a 40 a 30 a 20 and a 10 which add up to 5000 does this confuse the calculator or sumthin sum1 plz explain

40 +30 +20 +10 = 100

4 x 1000 = 4000

Total: 4100

[tralalala]

lol that was absolutely AMAZING!!!
i got.................................................................................................................
NONE of the questions right!!!!

your cool mate, where did you find it?

tralalala :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Icey]

i got the last 1 right :)

[gaz_k]

they are not extactly difficult if you have common sense or a ltteral problem solving mind.

i do not mean to sound big headed, i am no computer expert or anything i just come on for sum tips n things to do at work, but i got all them right.

just by doin wuick things in your head like that your can bump up your iq loads.

i am by no means super intelligiant, but i have an IQ of 147 by understanding how the questions work n what they look for in the answer.

i have friends who know a lot more than me, learn things a lot quicker, and understand things i could never posibly understand, yet i can beat them at IQ tests by being a quick lateral thinker and look outside the box.

try a few online tests and start watching your iq go up as you start understanding the format of the questions they ask.

here a little teaser?

how far can a dog run into a forrest?







half way, after that he running out!






how many of each species did moses take onto the arc?






none, noah took them on!



there are loads more but i am getting bored of typing due to short attention span

Exactly what I did! I started at 124, then I went to 130, then i went to 136. If i can find an online test that i havent taken yet (to be fair) i'd probably get 140s :P Mensa here I come.

[imtoshort]

i am 13 and i got the math one right, that was easy, did it all in my head too.....do i get a cookie

[-Archwolf-]

I got them all right.......this is so old This has been on the net for quite some years

[TIBZ]

i seemed so stupid asking that question lol i just got it 2day i was wit my friends and 1 of em found it out took awhile tho lol

[gaz_k]

put your right leg out, now rotate your foot clockwise:

right round, just from your ankle not your leg, keep it rotating

now with it still rotating, put your arm out and pencil a number 6 six your index finger (starting at the top the going down anti clowise and the bringing it up fot the circle)

most poeples foot will stop goin clockwise and tart goin anti clock wise as it follows what your hand n finger are doing.....

it is a bit more difficult to do thatn that pattin your head whilst rubbin your belly rubish

[Sparkle1984]

I think that is really strange, when you do that maths question in your head it comes to 5000, but when you work it out on paper or with a calculator you get the correct answer 4100. Anyone know why it happens like that? There must be a way it fools your brain somehow. <_<

We tend to jump on conclusions very easily. You got all steps right except the last one( I presume)

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. = 1040

Now add another 1000. =2040

Now add 30. =2070

Add another 1000. =3070

Now add 20. =3090

Now add another 1000. =4090

Here at this step our mind is so accustomed adding 1000&#39;s that it doesnt think what it should be.
Now add 10. =4100 and not 5000

[Wolfmight]

I got all 4 right.. the easiest was the math question.. hell, what was funny about that one?? 40+30+20+10+1000+1000+1000+1000=4100... soo, how would someone ever get 5000??

Also in the last one, i noticed: Mary&#39;s << **father** has five daughters, 1rst one is Mary of course

[I.am]

Ya some are obvious but that math one might be tricky for some.

[marine_aart]

2 wrong, 2 right, not bad eh?

[kieranpercival]

All right, no joking and I have never done that test before :)

[Phoenix007]

Can u recommend some good IQ testing sites, not like those bs ones that only send u the results after u "sign up" or give them credit card number...

[EnJoi]

hey 7aint fuck you this is copied off some old post

[imported_7aint9]

I got it in my mail you dumbfuck. Seems from the replies some people have never seen it either.

The question I wanna ask is what kind of anally retarded shmuck brings up something I posted over a month ago to say it&#39;s been posted before? Kind of defeats the point does&#39;nt it? :rolleyes:

...

Mary&#39;s father has five daughters:


heh, got these 2 wrong ... i still prefer Nunu ... :)

with the number thingy, it was pretty easy for me B) , i have been having problems since way way back with doing in my head math such as ...

34

add 10, i get 44

add 40, i get 84

add another 10, i get 94

but when i add 10 to 94 i would get 114&#33; :blink:


after getting this wrong hundreds of times (literally&#33; :angry: ), i had to practice over & over. i would even get numbers like 73 + 30 = 113, 173 + 130 = 213, etc, the list goes on with any 3 digit number, i would ALWAYS forget about the zero in the "x0x". im sure my problem is something like this

btw, anyone else have/had that problem?

:lol: i dont mean when 1000&#39;s are involved, just the 100&#39;s. hehe
