XD I received this in an email, it's an Idiocy test. Let's see if you can pass it, I only got 1/5 including the bonus question. O.O

FIRST QUESTION.

You are participating in a race. You are about to overtake the second person, what position will you be in?

.~.
.~.
.~.
.~.

.~.
.~.
.~.
.~.

Answer: If you answered first, than you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person, you take his place, so you are second!

Try not to screw up, now answer the next question, but don't take as much time as you did for the first one OK?

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, you are?

.~.

Answer: If you answered second to the 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: Do this in your head, only. No calculator, no pencil, no pen, no paper. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 into 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?

.~.

.~.
.~.

Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.

If you don't believe me, you can get a calculator and count.
This is definitely not your day, maybe you can get the last question correct. Maybe.

Fourth Question:

Mary's father has 5 daughters.
1. Nana 2. Nene 3. Nini 4. Nono. What is his fifth daughter?

.~.

Did you answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it's not.
It's MARY. Read the question properly again.

Okay, Bonus Question:

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 goes into a shop and wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How does HE indicate what he wants?

.~.

He just opens his mouth like me and you!

HAHA.
So how did you fair?
Are you an idiot? :)
