R U The Weakest Link???

[Joker Jen]

Try this it is cool !

I am going to ask you three questions. And you have to answer them
instantly.

You can't take your time you have to answer immediately.
O.K.?

Let's find just how clever you really are ........ Ready?
GO !!!!!

First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second.
What position do you finish?

NOW! See the answer below..

























Answer:
If you answer that you arrived first, then you are absolutely
wrong!!! Because you overtake the second, you take his place.
Therefore, you arrived second!!! !!


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 then you arrive...?




















Answer: If you answer that you arrived second to last then you are
wrong again.
Tell me, how can you overtake the last if he was last!!!! You're
not very good at this are you???

Third Question
Subject: *Very very Tricky maths!
Note: This riddle must be done IN YOUR HEAD ONLY and NOT using
paper and a pen. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
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!
The decimal sequence confuses our brain, that always jumps to the
highest decimals (100s instead of 10s).
That should have you in a bad mood for the rest of the day!!!



You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

[Tigger]

0/3 but I think that second question is not fair as its not a ral question!

 

[Tigger]

LOL! Just got my mum with the adding one! She thinks she's a mathmatical genius as she can always get the numbers questions on countdown but she fell for it and then went off to get her calculator cos she was sure she was right!!!

Bloody Hell Jen, my brain wasn't ready for those!!!

aye ya had me there aswell - proper logic questions there - got 0 out of 3 - I got 2030 for the last one coz u never said add another 1000 - ya just said another thousand - therefore discarding any previous additions - it was like pressing the CE button ont calculator and startin again - so I reckon I should be awarded a bonus point for that what do u reckon?
