This is kinda neat. Try it out.


Below are 4 questions.

Answer them immediately. No pencil or paper!

OK? Let's find out just how smart you really are.

Ready? ... GO!!!


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.

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? No, wrong again, 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? Of course not. The fifth daughter's name is Mary.

Read the question again. You ARE the WEAKEST LINK!! :D

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional". Scroll down for each answer. The questions are not that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?




The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.


2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?




Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator. Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.


3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals
attend except one. Which animal does not attend?




Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator. This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.


4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?




Correct Answer: You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.

This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old. Send this out to frustrate all of your friends...:D
