Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. :police:
First Question:

Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don’t believe it? Check with your calculator!Second 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 and you take his place, you are second!!!Third 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. How can you overtake the LAST person?!Last question

wish I never started the first one Carrie it still has me foxed…….Friday I guess :lol1:
-
OK, I’m the odd one out then. I got the first one correct and I’m wondering how anyone can add that to 5000? Being self employed I just imagined it all in £’s that is owed to me….. my mental arithmetic never fails me there!!!!!
The second one I got correct too but fell for the rest! -
I added it to 5000 aswell … Im self employed and run all the financial side of our business ….. but I guess its not a case of being a bit dumb more a case of your brain works in a different way at times!!
Marcella maybe your a genius and in the wrong job!
Carrie.

Oh…. I’ve always thought I was in the wrong job!!!!! Usually when I’m chasing unpaid invoices, then I think I could have been an assassin! (:)
