NO CHEATING PLEASE!


First Question:

You are participating in a race.
You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Answer, left click on your mouse, hold and drag it from star to star:

*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 next time.*

Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?

Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are...? (scroll down)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the Answer, left click on your mouse, hold and drag it from star to star:

*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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Answer, left click on your mouse, hold and drag it from star to star:

*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.*

Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Answer, left click on your mouse, hold and drag it from star to star:

*Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't.*
*Her name is Mary. Read the question again!*


Okay, now the bonus round:

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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the Answer, left click on your mouse, hold and drag it from star to star:

*He just has to open his mouth and ask...*
*It's really very simple.*

How many did you get right?

I only got the blind man one right

You think that's bad! I only just worked out that you have to hold the mouse down while you drag it accross...

It took me 2 days to figure that out and I've forgotten what my original answers were now...

I don't like this game!

Sorry, my fault. I should have explained it better. I have amended it now.

I only got 2 right - the overtaking the last man question and the add the numbers question.

Don't worry Christine, the fact that I couldn't work it out for myself doesn't bode well anyway! lol

I like the Third Question as I was really fooled and I nearly thought I was correct.

I got a good visual thing you could do on your friends...hold out a palm, run the fingers of your other hand over it and ask them what the deaf read. 99 times out of a hundred they'll give you the answer what you want to hear

I got them all right but I'm really not that clever. The other day I couldn't even remember which toothbrush was mine, and I only just recently found out what the word 'navvy' meant I thought it was someone in the armed forces
