The Stupid Test, AKA reading comprehension at its best, or worst.<br /><br />Please don't be insulted, this is for fun only. <br /><br />Okay, let's go. <br /><br />Now pay close attention. Here is a very simple little test comprised of four easy questions to determine the level of your reading comprehension and intellect. <br /><br />Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting of time. <br /><br />And no cheating! <br /><br />On your mark, get set, go... <br /><br />1: You are competing in a race and overtake the runner in second place. <br /><br />In which position are you now? <br /><br />Answer: <br />If you answered that you're now in first, you're wrong! You overtook the second runner and took his place, therefore you are now in second place. Think about it.<br /><br />For the next question think and try not to be so dim. <br /><br />2: If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in? <br /><br />Answer: If you answered second to last, you are wrong once again. Think about it... How can you overtake the person who is last? If you're behind them, they can't be last, you are. You would have been last, duh. <br /><br />It would appear that thinking is not one of your strong points. 
<br /><br />Anyway, here's a math question to try. <br /><br />Don't take any notes or use a handheld calculator, use your brain, and remember, your replies must be instantaneous. <br /><br />3: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. Add 1000 again, plus 20, plus 1000, and last add<br />another 10. What is the total? <br /><br />Answer: If you said 5000? <br /><br />Wrong again! The correct answer is 4100. <br /><br />Try again with a good calculator, or think about it. <br /><br />Today is clearly not your day, although you should manage to get the last question right... <br /><br />4: Marie's father has five daughters: <br />1. Chacha <br />2. Cheche <br />3. Chichi <br />4. Chocho <br />5. ______? <br /><br />Question: What is the fifth daughter's name? <br /><br />Think quickly...you'll find the answer below.. <br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br />Answer: Chuchu? WRONG! <br /><br />It's obviously Marie! Read the question slowly and properly. <br /><br />You are clearly the weakest link. <br /><br />Are you feeling kinda stupid? <br /><br />Join the club,,,,
