(I got this in an email. Don't yell at me for the smart aleck remarks! )
Take this test. Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting time. And no cheating.

On your mark, get set....GO!!!

1. You are competing in a race, and overtake the runner lying in second place.
In which position are you now?

Answer: If you answered that you're now coming first then you're completely wrong. You overtook the second runner and took their place, therefore you're coming second.

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, once again you're completely wrong.
Think about it...How can you over take the person coming last? If you're behind them then they can't be last. The answer is impossible!! It would appear that thinking is not one of your strong points. You would make a good weak link!!!

(Paul: Not necessarily! If you were about to lap (go past) the last runner, you COULD overtake the person coming in last. It means that likely you are in first place, unless everyone else also lapped this extraordinarily slow runner.)

Anyway, here's another to try, don't take any notes or use a calculator, and remember your replies must be instantaneous. Take heart!! (that was the dictionary's suggestion)

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. Try again with a
good calculator. 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! Read the question properly!

You are clearly the weakest link.... GOODBYE

*shaking head in disbelief* The only question I got right was the math one--only because I'd seen it a few times before and was reeeeeeeally careful this time! LOL Yuppers, I AM the Weakest Link...See ya!

Definitely the weakest link!.....Didn't get a darn one right! Oh well, I amuse myself at how much of a ditz I can be! Once I read the answer and it was different than mine, I thought, oh yeah, I guess that would be the right answer! Cute test!

Dana

All wrong!! Can I blame the time of the day and the fact that I haven't eaten yet?
Silvana
