it's okay, my brother who graduated a biology major couldn't even get these. lol...

[PetersRedYaris]

[Kaotic Lazagna]

heh, these are some hard stuff!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

:cry: haha it was fun though

yeah, it's also funny when you find out the answer.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

here's some more...

Below 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:

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 miss this one.
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)







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?


Scroll down for answer.....





Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.



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?




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?




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

[hasher22]

i heard the the 1st two questions before they were easy as.

with the 5000 question, how do u get 5000? i got 4100 too.......

and obviously the last question is mary, (cuz i heard that one too lol)

[Slummy]

I was sure i was gonna get the math one right.
And I did....once I used a calculator.:mad:

yeah, it's hard for some reason!

[Edd]

I love these things. Piss easy :)

The mary one was good. Tricked me :D

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i was able to get the second set of questions i posted, but my first post here i had trouble with.

[hasher22]

i keep getting 5000 when i do it in my head...? :iono:

it goes up to 4090........then it says add another 10. You went to 5000 instead of 4100.

I think the mind tricks you somehow. But i keep getting 4100. Lol its funny when it said "Did you get 5000?" and im like "omg is that the answer?" then i read on and its 4100 :)

But i calculated that question in my head about 6 times and i still couldnt see how u get 5000.

[Black Yaris]

are you posting all these test to get your post count up? cause some of these are just silly, come on, YARIS FORUM.... may them Yaris oriented in some way please... Thanx!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yeah, i think that may be it. heh.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

that's why i posted it in the off-topic section because this has nothing to do with the Yaris, but with everything else. why else have an off-topic section? i really don't care about my post count at all. seriously, it's not going to get me anything, so why bother with it. i post to reply to things or ask questions. as for these pointless tests, they're just to entertain anyone here who is bored.

[Blenjar]

hahah I got hte math one!!

- -Blen

[Kaotic Lazagna]

the one that i couldn't get. heh.

[Poorboy]

:smile: you guys are so goofy. thats what makes this forum welcoming and fun. shut up black yaris

[Kaotic Lazagna]

:smile: you guys are so goofy. thats what makes this forum welcoming and fun.

thanks. heh, sometimes it's a good thing to not be so serious all the time. and yes, welcome to YW.

Three men each paid $10 to share a $30 Yaris. Later, the dealership felt bad about overcharging them for a $25 Yaris, so he gave the service manager 5 one-dollar bills to return to them. The service manager returned one dollar to each of the men, but kept two for himself. So the men paid $27 for the Yaris, plus $2 to the service manager for a total of $29. Where did the extra dollar go?


i think all of the dollars are accounted for. the serv. manager gave each man a dollar, totaling to 3 bucks and kept two for himself, equaling the 5 bucks that should have been given back. so the men paid 28 dollars...at least this is how i see it. :wink:

[Edd]

Solution:
The problem is you are adding $2, when you should be subtracting. If the manager gives back $3, he is still overcharging by $2. Subtract $2, and you get $25, which is what the Yaris should have cost.
This is basically what Kaotic Lazagna said.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

lol...can't believe i got that right! i'm "SMRT, i mean, SMART!"

anyone know where that's from?

[Edd]

Well actually, you said the men paid $28, which they didn't... :p I could see what you were getting at though, just hard to explain.

I suppose the better way of looking at it is that they paid $27, $2 of which was to the service manager. NOT "they paid $27, plus $2 to the service manager".

i'm "SMRT, i mean, SMART!"

anyone know where that's from?
