"The Big IQ Test"
Pay close attention. Here is a very simple little
test comprised of four easy questions to determine
the level of your intellect. See if you have what it
takes to be considered "smart." Your replies must
be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating
or wasting of time. And no cheating!
On your mark, get set, go...
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 in first,
you're wrong! You overtook the second runner
and took his place, therefore you are now in
second place.
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, you are
wrong once again. Think about it... How can you
overtake the person who is last? If you're behind
him, he can't be last. You would have been last.
It would appear that thinking is not one of your
strong points.
Anyway, here's another question to try. Don't take
any notes or use a calculator, and remember, your
replies must be instantaneous.
3: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30.
1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10. What
is the total?
Answer: Did you get 5000?
Well, wrong again!
The correct answer is 4100. Try again with a 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: Are you thinking 'Chuchu'?
WRONG!
It's obviously Marie! Read the question properly.
'Oy, what a day I'm having....'
