am i losing it...........

[John Gill]

preparing for an early night yesterday,had a nice shower, then liberally applied my expensive deodorant which turned out to be shaving gel. Back in the shower. wandered upstairs, stood in the middle of the bedroom, hmm what did i come up here for. Ah----- trick is, go back to where you began and usually the answer will be found. Back down, still no joy. Back up------------yep you've guessed it, i was off to bed.
I am seriously considering booking myself a one way ticket with Swissair.

John, I would think you could fill a plane with members from this site.LOL

[Tony Morcom]

Love it John. My personal opinion is that these damn computers are slowly frying our brains one cell at a time. In 20 years we'll probably all be zombies wandering around with no idea at all why we are here

Now try:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini,
4. Nono.




What is the name of the fifth daughter?





Answer: Nunu?







NO! Of course not.



Her name is Mary. Read the question again



And:


Very tricky math ! 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?





Scroll down for answer.

Did you get 5000?











The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right?



Okay, now the bonus round:

There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By
imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is
done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of
sunglasses, how should he express himself?

Answer:


Below:












The blind person just has to open his mouth and ask, it's so simple!


Now decide for yourself if you are losing it or not ?

[John Arton]

I lost it on the first section, filling in the correct words, where I discovered that my O level in English was a waste as when I scrolled down for the answers I discovered I must be a sex addict (think about it)

Keith,

I don't wish to appear to brag, but I managed (with a lot of thought, because I guessed it had to be a gag)
to get all of them correct.

Except, that is, for the mental arithmetic one.......How the hell does that one work,
hope that you can enlighten me?

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.

If you add the thousands 4 of them = 4,000

Add 40, 30, 20 and 10 = 100

4,ooo + 100 = 4,100

Otherwise 1000 + 40 = 1040 + 1000 = 2040 + 30 = 2070 + 1000 = 3070 + 20 = 3090 + 1000 = 4090 then only adding 10 = 4100.

Strange why when asked to add 10 most go for 910 ?

Oh dear Keith. 40, 30 and 10 =100???? I know where you went wrong, but do you want a seat at the front or the back of the plane. Cheers Albi
