So, I switched days with Julie this week, and completely forgot until late last night! Usually I’m thinking about what I’m going to blog about over the weekend (since my posts are on Mondays), but didn’t have to do that this past weekend. So, when it dawned on me that I had to write I blog for today, my mind was BLANK! 
So, instead of a regular blog, how about some brain teasers to see how sharp you all are? I have to admit that some of these I got right, and some of them I didn’t. But they were fun to do and think about.
Question: You are a participant in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in? (Scroll down for answer).

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 in second place!

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

Answer: Did you answer Nunu? Of course it isn’t! Her name is Mary. Read the question again!

Question: A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How does he indicate what he wants?

Answer: It’s very simple. He opens his mouth and asks for it!

Very Tricky Math Question: This must be done in your head only! Do not use paper and pencil or a 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?
*
*
*
*

Answer: Did you get 5000? Then you are WRONG! 
The correct answer is actually 4100. If you don’t believe it, check it with a calculator!
I got three out of the four correct. How did you do?
Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

Kidlet’s science teacher did these with them at the beginning of the year. Another one he told them was: A butcher is 5′ 11″ – what does he weigh?
hehe….meat.
Bad, bad, bad. I know. Have a great day everyone!!

I’ve seen them before, so I already knew the answers. Which was good because it is far too early to really think about it.

Janelle, I had a feeling someone would say that…LOL!!! I don’t drink coffee. I wouldn’t try it again today or tomorrow because I know all the answers now. Maybe in a couple of weeks, I will come across these again.
Peace and love,

Paula, don’t feel bad. I didn’t get any of them either!
My only excuse is that I haven’t even finished my first cup of tea yet. 
It takes a while for my brain to get going and even then I’m not good at brain teasers.

lol…funny, I got the math one wrong when I added it in the order laid out in the problem. When I went back and added the thousands, and then the tens, I got the right answer. Funny how the mind works!

Dude! There’s not enough coffee in the world for me to get any of those right first thing in morning. Go ahead…
I don’t mind.
