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 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.
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!!!
You utter ba***rd!

Thanks TL, what'd I do? Doorman posted this, embarassingly simple little puzzle, all correct for me so up yours Anne :D
Got The Mary one and the last in the race one wrong actually. :smash:
I faired well. However it is 3am (2am GMT) and I am very drunk. Had I taken the test tomorrow morning I would have made a complete TANGO of it by actually thinking about the questions.
Being utterly pissed obviously clears the bain tubes as the real answer to question two is first place.
The only way you can overtake the last man is by lapping him. Therefore you were in first place before you lapped him and still in first place after you lapped him. Ah but wait a bit......who says he's been lapped by the first place runner? I might be in second place and be the second runner to lap him...or third or forth......in fact I could be at any position only dependant on how many runners there are. So the answer is I am in any position except last. And if that's so then what about the first question? If I overtook the second place runner I might be in say eighteenth place but just unlapping myself from the second place runner and and ........I need my bed. Goodnight :?
(Sunday morning - Christ did I really write all that waffle? Sorry. They were some cool questions and the only reason I got them right was that I was taking so much time over them (being drunk) so technically I guess I wasn't answering them quickly enough. The proof being with the fact that I'm still struggling to work out why its 4100 ???)

40 + 30 + 20 + 10 = 100 ........not 1000
Yep i struggled with that one even when i got the calculator out and it showed 4100...... clunk clunk gears working.....ahhhhh now i get it
yeah got it now. worrying thing was that last night I got it right but got it wrong when I had another look this morning :oops:
