Second Question:(Don't take as much time as you took for the first question)

Third Question:(very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only. You're not allowed to 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 10.5000
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughter: 1.Nana 2.Nene 3. Nini 4. Nono.
What's the name f the fifth daughter?
Mary!
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's a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
Say it!

1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000=4090

4090 + 10 = 4100

I originally paid no attention to the first part of the question "mary's father" and just looked at the pattern of names. :rolleyes: It wasn't until I reread it later that I caught the obvious. :frown:
At least I can count. :biggrin:
The correct title of the quiz should be "how well do you pay attention?" :wink:
I'd white out paid no attention to the first part of the question "mary's father" and.
