First
Question:

person. What position are you in?

Sans MS'>
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 next time.

the first question, OK?
Second
Question:

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.
Take1000 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.
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

Her name isMary. Read the question again!
Okay, now the bonus
round:
Amute 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.
