One can't proceed from the informal to the formal by formal means.

ARE YOU THE WEAKEST LINK?

I am going to ask you three questions. And you have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time you have to answer immediately. Okay? Let's find just how clever you really are. Ready? GO!!!

First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake second place. What position do you finish?

Answer:
If you answer that you arrived first, then you are wrong! If you overtake the second and you take his place, you arrive second!

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

Second Question:
If you overtake the last, then you arrive...?

Answer:
If you answer that you arrived second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST! The question is wrong!

You're not very good at this are you? ;^)

Next...very tricky math! Note: This riddle must be done in your head only and NOT using paper and a pen. Try it.

Third Question:
Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
Another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 10.
What is the total?

Did you get 5000? Well, the correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! The decimal sequence confuses our brain, which always jumps to the highest decimals (100s instead of 10s).

That should have you in a bad mood for the rest of the day! You are the weakest link. Goodbye!

In some churches there is “an unwritten and unspoken rule that said, ‘It is better to be nice than honest’.”

“If you speak about the problem out loud, you are the problem.”

“The truth is, when people talk about problems out loud, they don't cause them, they simply expose them.”

If we get the tree right, then the fruit will be right.

Focus on building your character above all else.
