chicagoskydiver 0 #1 August 2, 2002 The Weakest Link Here is a very simple little test comprised of four questions to determine the level of your intellect. Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting time. And no cheating. 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 first, then you're completely wrong. You overtook the second runner and took their place, therefore you're 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-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!!! 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. Chache 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!!!Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, let me spell it out for you. 1,000 + 40 = 1,040 1,040+1,000=2,040 2,040+30=2,070 2,070+1,000=3,070 3,070+20=3,090 3,090+1,000=4,090 4,090+10=4,100 The answer is 4,100.Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seedy 0 #7 August 5, 2002 sorry, my post went into never never land. You would be in any position other than last place because you have lapped the person in last place. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicagoskydiver 0 #8 August 5, 2002 Quote sorry, my post went into never never land. You would be in any position other than last place because you have lapped the person in last place. Actually, it's impossible. How can you "overtake" the person in last place. You can only overtake another runner from behind. If you are behind someone, that person isn't in last place because there is at least one person behind them, namely you.Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seedy 0 #9 August 5, 2002 Not impossible on an oval track. Race car drivers "lap" the last place cars all the time. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicagoskydiver 0 #10 August 5, 2002 It doesn't say anywhere you're racing on a track. Although I see your point, it would only be possible if you're racing on a track to overtake someone in last place, meaning to physically pass them. I think what the question meant is that you're actually behind the person in a race from point A to point B. That's a good catch.Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
