Test your IQ. How good r u in reasoning?

B elow are four (4 ) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?



Let's find out just how clever you really are.




Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)














First Question:


Y ou are participating 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 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?


Fourth Question:
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











Okay, now the bonus round:


There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.








Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?











































He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple

Excellent Stuff !

Especially this part

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?

Could you explain me why the answer is 4100 and not 5000 when done in a calculator???

coz when u manualy add 40 + 30+ 20+10..u get 100 but you think it's 1000, so u add it with other four 1000s...to make it 5000

But Infact it's 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 100...which comes out be 4100

Frankly Speaking.. I got it all wrong.. I got wrong answers to all my questions..

But this post is the best I have come accross on the forum till date.. Just the best.. This post deserves an award.. I just couldnt stop laughing when the answer i got was there but it was wrong.. all 4 wrong.. How stupid can a person be?

The questions i like the most were Mary's father and addition (5000) the first time i got 5000.. then each time after reading the answer of 4100 i calcuated 3 times i got the correct answer.. How could i just be wrong the first time unbelievable but true.. Mary's father.. Again my stupidity, answer was in front of me.. couldnt get the right answer..

Maybe i just got up from sleep so i got it alll wrong

Anywayz WMC26 you deserve a round of applause..

The best thread (topic) in this section so far..
