Very, very difficult questions

(See answers at end)

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

2. If you overtake the last person in the same race, then you are in what position?

3. Very tricky math (this must be done in your head, do not use pencil or paper or calculator)
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?

4. Mary's father has five daughter's: #1 Nana, #2 Nene, #3 Nini, #4 Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Answers:
1. 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!

2. If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again! Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?

3. Did you get 5000? The correct answer is 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!

4. Nunu? No, of course not. Her name is Mary.
