Hi Peter,
            Whadda mean counterfeit eh ?  You must be demented.
Here is your test for dementia ......

Below are  four (4)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 in?





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~








 



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:  If you answered that you are second to last, then you  are wrong
again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?


You're not very good at this, are  you?









 


Third  Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in  your head only.
Do NOT use paper and  pencil or a calculator. Try it.



Take  1000and  add40to it. Now add  another  1000. Now  add  30.
Add  another  1000. Now add  20.  Now add another1000
Now add  10. What is the  total?




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


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?
Maybe you'll get the last question  right....
...Maybe.



Fourth  Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1.  Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What
is the name of the fifth  daughter?




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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, a blind man comes into the shop who  wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how does HE indicate what  he wants?








 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~









 


He just has to open his mouth  and ask...
It's really very simple.... Did you get it right ?



PASS THIS   ON TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART  PEOPLE   IN YOUR LIFE!

Merry Christmas to you too  :z4

 Paul .

yip all the best to yous and yr kin

heres one for you----the missing pound

three guys staying in a hotel pay £30 for their rooms £10 each
the owner realises he has overcharged by £5
he sends the bellboy upstairs to give them their £5 ---he decides to pocket £2  and give them £1 each
so that means they all paid £9 each   

now 3 x £9  = £27  plus the £2 the bellboy took this adds up to £29  ---

where is the missing pound ???????

Merry Christmas from Norway!  No snow here in Stavanger but I hope to see plenty next week when we head to the mountains outside Bergen.

Anyway, Have a great festive season everyone and don't complain about Scotland - at least the (bad) beer isn't £6.50/400ml
