See how you go
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second place person. What position are you in?
Second Question:
If you are in a race, and you overtake the last person, then you are?
Third Question:
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? ( must be done in your head only!)
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 Q1: If you answered that you are first, then you are wrong! If you overtake the second place person, and you take their place, you are second!
Answer Q2: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!
Answe Q3r: Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!
Answer Q4: Nunu? NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary. Read the question again!

I got all but three, but I've seen this type of thing before. Is Q2 meant to sound like an imposibility? Cos you can overtake the last person in at least two ways. :P

I got the second and third Q wrong
As for the 2nd, i thought they would be first, over lapping the last person?

Pink:. Surely if you overtake the last person, you can be in ANY position, you have just lapped them.
The third I have seen before but it still annoys me.
"Take 1000"
1000
and add 40 to it.
1040
Now add another 1000.
2040
Now add 30.
2070
Add another 1000.
3070
Now add 20.
3090
Now add another 1000.
4090
now add 10. What is the total?
Oh yeah...

I am thoroughly demented.
I could, I am sure, argue my answers and win, but still, I am demented. And intend staying that way.

1 question right and that was the easy numbers one
but then again i can put it on tiredness as it is 1:24 in the morning 
I also agree with the flid about this being more a test of reading the question through something im extremely bad at. Ive even fell for one of those lists of pointless tasks things that at the end tells you not to do a thing. Not exactly the same but still along the same lines in my opinion.

yeh, the answer should be "not last place" as anyone who is not last can overtake the last person as in lapping them. its still by definition an overtake
