Can you get more than one correct? ....
Here is a very simple little test made up of four questions to determine the level of your intellect. Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate with no real deliberating. You should NOT dwell on the questions.... > > > >Ready, 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 are now in first place, you are WRONG! > >You overtook the second runner and took their place, so you're 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-last, once again you are completely WRONG. > >How can you overtake the person coming in last?

Remember your replies must be instantaneous. Don't dwell!!!! > > > >3.

2. You couldn't have overtaken the last runner because you would have been the last runner. 3. 5000 4. Marie |

disagree on the second one. if you overtake the person in last place, then you would have to be in first on a round track and lap them. so you are in first place.

I also disagree with the second one, you can overtake the last person if you are a lap faster/ahead than the last person. you don't have to be the first place person to do that.

i was assuming that you were the first person to lap the last person.

OK, I'll admit it!!! I got them all wrong except for the adding up one. Even then, I had to add it up twice and got differing answers.
I hate questions like that. They make me feel completely stupid! [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] |
