First Question:
You 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,you take his place,so you are second!
Try not to screw up next time.
Now answer the second question,but don't take as much time as you took for the first one,OK?

Second Question:

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
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 arithmetic! 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?
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
If you don't believe it,check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day,is it?
Maybe you'll get the last question right.......Maybe.

NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
Okay,now the bonus round:
I may have sent this one before. I'm never sure.
A mute person goes into a shop 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?
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
He just has to open his mouth and ask...It's really very simple.... Like you!

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@mkristo,I think its SHARPNESS,yaani ability to think QUICK!

Can silence be misquoted?

question 2 - I f you overtake the last person,then you are...?

the alleged ground for invalidating an answer to this question is wrong. the question is not complete and actually makes no sense so most answers would be right given the lack content/content.

yes you can overtake the last person in a race!

if say you were number 3 and you overtake the first person in front of you,that makes you the second person. in say,a hundred meters race the last person for you to overtake would be that number 2 whom you have just replaced.

but say then you get to be strong and fast enough to overtake the next person and win the race. obviously that would be the last person. so really in a 100 meters race the last person you can overtake shall be that ex-number one making you number 1.

now there is a difference between a 100 m race and say a race around the field three/four etc times. in the latter case,if the last person is used as the person in the last position in the race then you get to overtake her by lapping her.

so if you are the second last person and you lap the last person then you would be SECOND LAST PERSON AFTER OVERTAKING THE LAST PERSON.

@mkenyan & mkristo: I believe there is a saying that goes 'It takes a shorter time to do something right than to explain why you did it wrong'!
