The Genius Test
Today I would like to discover if we have any genius blog readers.
Below are four questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can’t take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?
Let’s find out just how clever you really are….
Ready? GO!!!
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you now in?
Answer Below…
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are
Absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person, you take his place, so you are second!
Try not to screw up next time.
Now answer the second question, but don’t take as much time as you took for the first one, OK?
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are…?
Answer Below…
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
Third Question:
Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator.
Take 1000 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?
Answer Below…
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?
Fourth Question:
Mary’s father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3, Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
Answer Below…
Did you Answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it isn’t.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
Okay, now the bonus round:
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, into the shop comes a blind man who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does he indicate what he wants?
Answer Below…
Answer: He just has to open his mouth and ask…
It’s really very simple…
How many did you get correct out of 5?

They are very simple questions, yet they are trick questions at the same time. I love these kinds of things. There are so many different types of questions that are similar to these. Its always fun to ask your friends these questions! Lol, I got 3 right. -Kevin
