The Weakest Link ================= Below are three questions. Answer them instantly. You can't take your time. Answer them immediately. No pencil or paper! OK? Let's find out just how smart and clever you really are. Ready? GO!!! FIRST QUESTION: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in? ANSWER: If you answer 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 mess up in the next question. To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question. (You know you took too much time.) 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?! LAST QUESTION: Mary's father has five daughters: Nana, Nene, Nini, Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter? ANSWER: Nunu? Nana? Nene? NONO! Of course not. The fifth daughter's name is Mary. Read the question again. You ARE the WEAKEST LINK!!
I had heard that last one with a bit of a twist: You need some coins - a penny, a nickel, and a dime. "Your parents had three kids" (hold up the penny) "Penny", (hold up the nickel), "Nicolas and..." (hold up the dime but don't say a word, wait for them to answer). You'll almost always get Dimitry as an answer.
