Guest Tracker Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Below are four questions, and a Bonus question, to test your perception, reasoning and the quickness of your logical processing. They are stated simply so you should try to answer them instantly. To assure the accuracy of the results, you should not take your time , but instead, answer each of them immediately. First Question : You are a participant 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 in second place! Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK? 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 Sunshine, how can you overtake the LAST person?? Third Question : Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. 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. Did you get 5000 ? The correct answer is actually 4100 . If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator! Fourth Question: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono, and ??? What is the name of the fifth daughter? Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary! Read the question again! Okay, now the Bonus round, a final chance to redeem yourself: A mute person goes into a drug store and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants? It's really very simple He simply asks for it... Does your employer pay you to think?? If so, Do NOT let them see your answers for this test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I get a point for that ? :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I get a point for that ? :-| No you don't get a point - he could be going to buy sunglasses for a friend who is too shy to ask for himself?

BGD Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It was only by pure luck that it was a shop that he walked into.....could just as easily have been a river, or a library, or even a bar (ouch!). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
