Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. Let's find out just how clever
you really are.


下列有四個問題及一個加分題，你必須立刻回答，不能花時間慢慢想，讓我們看看你有多聰明。準備好，向下捲！


First Question： 第一題

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

你參加賽跑，追過第2名，你是第幾名？






Answer： 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!

解答： 如果你的回答是第1名，你就錯了！你如果追過第2名，你只是取代那人的位置，你是第2名。







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

 2 題，你不能使用與回答第 1 題相同的時間。


Second Question ： 第二題

If you are in a race, and you overtake the last person, then you are?

你參加賽跑，你追過最後一名，你是第幾名？













Answer ： If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can

 you overtake the LAST person?! You're not having a good time at this! Are you?

解答： 如果你的回答是倒數第2名，你又錯了！告訴我，你怎能追過最後一名？顯然你並未樂在其中！

以 1000加上40，再加1000，再加30 ，再加1000，現在加上20，再加一次1000，現在加上10，總數是什麼？
