The Jailhouse

[NorthWesterner]

Joe,

Now that you're out of jail, you don't have to pass any tests.

But see whether you can pass this one. NO PEEKING at the answers first. Can you be honest?



Let's take a quick test to see how smart you really are.
You are going to read four questions, and you must answer right away.
You can not give yourself time to think too much
after you've read the question.
Let's find out how smart you really are...Ready? Start!

* First Question:
You are participating in race, and you just passed the
person in second place.
What place did you finish the race in?
Scroll down to take a look at the answer.

and NO PEEKING until you've answered.





Answer:
If you answered that you were first, you are absolutely wrong.
You passed the guy in second place and have take his place instead.
Therefore, you finished the race in second place
Please, for the next question don't take too much time to answer!!

*Second question:
If you passed the guy in the last position,
in what place did you finish the race?

Anwer first, NO PEEKING.








Answer:
If you answered "the one before last", you are wrong again.
Just think a little...How can you pass the guy in the last position?
If he is the last then either you are already before him or you are not
in the race....This question is imposible!!
Please, stop using paper, pencil and your calculator to answer these
questions!!
And remember you have to think quick and answer right away.

Let's try again and see if you can get this one right.

Third Question:
Take 1000. Add 40
Add another 1000
now 30
another 1000
then add 20
again add 1000
now 10
What is the total?

Answer:
Did you get 5000?
This is wrong again, the answer is 4100. Try it again,

this time you can use a calculator.
What? Are you having a bad day? Face it this is the reality


OK, let's try once more and see if you can get this one right
at least...
The father of Renata has five daughters:
1. Nana
2. Nene
3. Nini
4. ????
5. Nunu
Question: What's the name of the fourth daughter?
Think quick!!... and NO PEEKING!







RENATA - of course!!! Read the question again if you
don't believe me.
