What a great time we could all have quilting together if they put us in the same facility!

I thought you would all get a kick out of my friend's answers!She used to do NAscar....

First Question:

You are a participant in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?



Depends on if you're unlapping yourself. However, in a footrace etc., you're second.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<






Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely WRONG! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, YOU are in second place!

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 question, OK?





Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?


(scroll down)
In first place and lapping the field.



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











Answer : If you answered that you are second to last, then you are ; ; ; ;WRONG again. Tell me Sunshine, 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 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?

5000

Scroll down for the correct answer.....

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








Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100



If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
(This is why I married someone with a minor in math from college)


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, and ??? What is the name of the fifth daughter?


Mary

I take exception to the second question.

Obviously the person who wrote it was not a NASCAR Fan. You can overtake the last person in a race and if you do you just lapped them and you are in FIRST place.

I got them all right but the math one. I haven't used the calculator, just don't see how that answer can be right!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Got them all but the math,guess you could say my vision wasn't good either for I did"t see the hundred but saw it as thousand.DAH. Getting older is not always fun but retirement sure is!

Get in line. Going to be very crowded. At least we'll all have something in common to talk about.
