Let's start with an interesting one, shall we?
The rule is simple:

I am going to ask you three questions.
And you have to answer them instantly.
You can't take your time you have to answer immediately.
Let's find out just how clever you really are ........

First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second.
What position do you finish?


NOW! See the answer below..






Answer:
If you answer that you arrived first, then you are absolutely wrong!!!
Cause you overtake the second and you take his place so you arrived second!!!

To answer the second question don't take as much time as you took for the first question.

Second Question: If you overtake the last then you arrive...?






Answer:
If you answer that you arrived second last then you are wrong again.
Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST !!!! The question is wrong!
You're not very good at this are you???

Third Question
Subject: *Very very Tricky maths!
Note: This riddle must be done IN YOUR HEAD ONLY and NOT using paper and a pen.
Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
Another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 10.


What is the total? (scroll down for answer)








Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don' t believe it? Check with your calculator!
The decimal sequence confuses our brain, that always jumps to the highest decimals (100s instead of 10s).

Remmember to post up your results so whether we should laugh at u or not(just kidding).Anyway,if anyone have anything interesting please do post it up so we can see how stupid can we be by judging ourself to the correct ans.

ok,here's a good one:
whats something that has "e" as the first letter and "e" as the last letter......but has only one letter in it!??!?!?









an envelope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If you had only one match and entered a cold and dark room, where there were a fire place, an oil lamp and a candle, which would you light first?











the match!!!

Where can you find August before July?







In the dictionary!!!hehehe!

This one is a classic one:
You are riding a horse. In front of you there is a fire engine. You are being followed by a helicopter. To your left a sports car is driving. And to your right there is a depth.

The Question: How can you arrange that you will all stop simulaneously, without crashing and without mutual communication?









Ans:You ask the man of the merry-go-round to stop it.
