This is a simple quiz for fast thinkers. If you consider yourself a quick thinker, you might learn something by the end. However, you may also miss the mark. Are senior members and junior members equally adept at answering quickly? Let's find out by tackling the first three questions promptly. Remember, speed is key for a fast thinker like you!
(1) You are in a race and overtake the second person. What position do you hold?
You are not in first place. Overtaking the second person means you take their spot, placing you in second.
(2) If you overtake the last person, what position are you in?
You cannot overtake the last person, so you remain in your current position.
(3) Perform this mental math challenge. Test your fast arithmetic skills: Add 1000, then 40, then another 1000, followed by 30, another 1000, 20, another 1000, and finally 10. What is the total?
My initial answer was 5000, but with a calculator, the correct sum is 4100.
Now, for the final question, proceed with caution and take your time.
Final Question: Be Careful
Mary’s father has five daughters: Nana, Nene, Nini, Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
If you read the questions attentively, you would realize the answer is not Nunu but "I don't know." Through careful consideration and avoiding hasty conclusions, you would deduce that the fifth daughter is Mary.
Thinking fast is essential in many situations, but it can lead to errors. Strive to think both quickly and accurately. Let's aim to be Fast and Correct Thinkers, combining speed with precision for optimal results.
