The Stupid Test!

The Stupid Test!



OK. Pay close attention.

Here is a very simple little test comprised of four easy questions to determine the level of your intellect.

Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting of time.

And no cheating!


On your mark, get set, go...


1: You are competing in a race and overtake the runner in second place.

In which position are you now?







Answer: If you answered that you're now in first, you're wrong! You overtook the second runner and took his place,
therefore you are now in second place.


For the next question try not to be so dim.

2: If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in?






Answer: If you answered second to last, you are wrong once again.

Think about it... How can you overtake the person who is last?

If you're behind them, they can't be last. You would have been first and lapping them.


It would appear that thinking is not one of your strong points.


Anyway, here's another question to try.
Don't take any notes or use a calculator, and remember, your replies must be instantaneous.

3: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20. >Plus 1000. And plus 10.

What is the total?

Answer: 5000?




Wrong again! The correct answer is 4100.


Today is clearly not your day, although you should manage to get the last question right...

4: Marie's father has five daughters:
1. Chacha
2. Cheche
3. Chichi
4. Chocho
5. ????

Question: What is the fifth daughter's name?
Think quickly...you'll find the answer below..









Answer: Chuchu? WRONG ! It's obviously Marie!






You are clearly the weakest link.

SpankyFart

hmm my cloggy mind doesnt get the 5000 one

Anyone care to explain ?

Fabritzo

AL][EN

yea got one of em wrong too the 5000 one is very good i like that one

The answer Spankyfart is below

Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10.

break it down add the thouands together first
there are four of the (above) that gives you a total of 4000

next add all the other numbers up

40 + 30 + 20 + 10

which is a total 100 NOT 1000 (which is what your brain thinks .... or is supposed to)

giving you a total of 4100 NOT 5000

KilOit

the 5000 one is very good

Kold

Got em all right

If you're behind them, they can't be last. You would have been first and lapping them.

You could be second...... STUPID

l3rian

If you answered second to last, you are wrong once again.

Maybe last was being lapped by second to last?

Spenguin

That was clever. I got half of them right.:D

Pugsley

I got em all except the one about passing the guy in last place

How come loads of yiz got 5000. is it a trick on the brain or something?

greg_f

maybe im just good at maths or something but wen i saw that i though 100 not 1000 and i dont see how you could think that

Fuhrio

Btw that last question about the daughters, marie could simply be a badly named son so that doesnt have to be the answer, it hurts knowing everything...
