IQ test for "intellectual lemmings"

[John Prophet]

Actually the lemmings part was just cheap advertising for the thread, lol.



Are you the weakest link?

Below are four (4) questions. 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:
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 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?





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

WTF that was rigged. At least I got the first one right.

[Optimus Prime]

Lies.

[DPA]

i actually got them all right... whoa

there is no spoon

I disagree with 1, 2, and 4

1) It depends on where you started from. If you were last for example and overake the second person, you are then third from last.

2) When you overtake the last person you must be in first becuase there isn't anyone left to overtake.

4) With names like that, who's to say Mary wasn't a son.

I got 4100 for tha math question... I have to do simple adding at work in my head fast...

PS: I work with numbers oddly in my head. I actually added the thousands together sepertaly from the other numbers and then added the totals.. maybe thats how i did it?!

[J-Excel]

I disagree with #3 too after reading it again.

Take a thousand
-1000

add 40 to it
-960

Now add another 1000
40

Now add 30
70

Add another 1000
1070

Now add 20
1090

Now add another 1000
2090

Now add 10
2100

What is the total
2100
