Presence of Mind Test

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. OK?

Let's find out just how clever you really are.


Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)



First 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!

Try not to screw up in the next question.

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



Second 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. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST
Person?


You're not very good at this! Are you?



Third Question:

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?


Fourth Question:


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



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?


He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.

"Decision"

A company was hiring new staff. One question in the written exam was:
You are driving your car in a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus station, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
A doctor who had once saved your life.
A man/woman you have been dreaming to be with.
You can only take one passenger in your car. Which one will you choose?
Please explain your answer.


Think about it before you continue reading.




This must be some kind of personality test. Every answer has its reasoning.



You could pick up the old lady. She is going to die, and thus you should save her first. You could take the doctor, because he once saved your life. This will be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you could always pay the doctor back in the future, but you may never be able to find the perfect lover once you pass this chance.

The candidate who was eventually hired (out of 200 applicants) did not have to explain his answer.
WHAT DID HE SAY?

He simply answered: "Give the car key to the doctor. Let him take the old lady to the hospital. I will stay and wait for the bus with the man/woman of my dreams."

Sometimes, we would gain more if we were able to give up our stubborn limitations.
"Smart Answer"

There was a student who was desirous of taking admission for a study course. He was smart enough
to get through the written test, a GD and was to appear for the personal interview. Later, as the interview progressed, the interviewer found this boy to be bright since he could answer all the questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy.

"Tell me your choice," said he to the boy, "What's your choice: I shall either ask you ten easy questions or ONE real difficult. Think well before you make up your mind."

The boy thought for a while and said, "My choice is ONE real difficult question."

"Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the man on the opposite side. Tell me : What comes first , Day or Night ?"

The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: "It's the DAY, sir."

"How ???????" the interviewer was smiling ("At last, I got you!" he said to himself.)

"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"

Admission for the course was thus secured.
One day, a man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask his manager about the matter.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, "Some jerk but there wants to buy only half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "and this gentleman wants to buy the other half."
Cow College

The school of agriculture's dean of admissions was interviewing a prospective student, "Why have you chosen this career?" he asked.

"I dream of making a million dollars in farming, like my father," the student replied.

"Your father made a million dollars in farming??? echoed the Dean, much impressed.

"No," replied the applicant, "he dreamed of it."



Here I will narrate an incident and members need to post there action regarding the same.
" You are a newly recruited RPF and its your first day of work in a sub urban railway station. There are two people without ticket.A poor man and business man (who actually lost the ticket which he bought). What will you do?"


It is the highest stupidity of the interviewer to ask a person such a question. RPF(Railway Protection Force) personnel are not authorised to carry out checking of any tickets from the passengers. It is the duty of Travelling Ticket Examiners in that station responsible for such checks. They have all the right to penalise or excuse the passengers. How come RPFs new recruit on the first day of his duty comes to play such a role.

An interview question asked to Dr. varun kumar(AIR-3)-
You are an officer in railway protection Force. one poor man does not have travel ticket. one university professional who has brought a ticket has lost it. How will you handle both of them?
