The bozo drill and test

What is a bozo. This is a very dumb person who thinks he is smart and knows everything there is to know on pool and nobody can tell him anything. If you attempt to tell him anything different from what he believes in he calls you names and degrades you. This dumb person calls you dumb. You cannot win any argument with an ignorant bozo, this is impossible.

Do not reprove the fool lest he hate you. reprove the wise man and he will love you. proverbs 9:8.

I have stated there are only about 9, perhaps no more than 15 bozos on this board. This is a bozo test. Answer the simple 4 questions, if you flunk them all :well your a bozo. The 1000 people on this board who got past the 3rd grade I am confident will sail through this little exercise with no problem. For kent the newfie, wally in cincy, aju 612 and cue ball head, budda head, they are doomed, these bozos are real bozos so I would put up 7 gets you 11 dey bite the dust on all 4.

Finally we can settle this one once and for all as to who is the real bozos and who are not.



Subject: Are you the weakest link?



Below are four (4) questions. You have to answer them instantly. You can't
take your time, answer all of them immediately.

OK? Let's find out just how clever you really are.

Ready?
GO!!! (scroll down)




First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What
position are you in?











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 second!




Try not to screw up in the next question.

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





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?!



You're not very good at this are you?





Third Question: Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head
only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.





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?



Scroll down for answer.











Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100.




Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your
day. Maybe you will get the last question right?



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











Answer: Nunu?
NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary. Read the question again.
 
I can see right now this thread is not going to hit the top popularity list. 6 guys jumped on it right off the bat, all 6 washed out on all four and nobody has gone near this puppy in 2 hrs. Damn you bozos have one hell of a tom tom system. I am going to bed, I made my point, you bozos all are dumb as rocks, I passed a mensa test, suck on that one. iq 152, not like your 9. You 9 iq's call me dumb, go figger. For years I have worked with iqs in the 180 and :D 190 range. You can see how 9's drive me absolutely beserk.
 
Larry...this is TOO funny!!!! I'm a Super bozo...I got all wrong. :(
I did the math question once. got wrong answer....got out calculator...
got right answer.. did it again...still can up with wrong answer. therefore,
I can only conclude that I am a super bozo.
But then again..I am a Fast Larry beliver, so its not all bad.
keep telling it like it is. I enjoy all your posts.
 
"Second Question: If you overtake the last person, then you are...? "

Hey Larry,

Finally got ya! You are wrong! If you overtake the last person in a race, you are in the same position you were in before you overtook that person, but now you are a lap up. ;)

razor... I think the point of this question. is... that it is impossible
to overtake. (or pass) yourself in a race. it just cannot be done.

Very clerver Rog, got him, got us all.
 
4 for 4 but that's not really fair because I've seen these before. The one I missed initially was number two because I was thinking of a track race where you actually could pass the last runner. My bad I guess...
I certainly don't think people are bozos for missing some of these but then again I don't think you do either Larry. Just spicin' it up a little.

Regards,
Dave
 
ok...I've had time to think about question #2.
If you are in a race around a track. it IS possible to pass the last person.
if you are in first place & you lap the last place racer...then you are still in 1st place. razor....you are correct if this is the case. sorry... hehe
But assuming that it is a straight race. then it is impossible to pass the last place racer...because you are the last place racer. (unless you have a clone) .Does anyone know any way to pass yourself? I dont think its physicaly possible.

There are people who pass themselves.............off as pool players. ;)
 
Hey Razor,

I'm not too upset over it :)
I'm one of those people who continually try to pass myself off as a pool player. Trouble is, there is always someone out there to bring you back to earth so I have learned to just have fun and not take myself too seriously.

Personally, i prefer to pass myself off as a chump. Then look for people who try to pass themselves off as a pool player. ;)
 
Heh. Looks like I'm a bozo too :D

Got 1 and 4 right, if you don't count the semantics over number 2.

3 was a great mind-muck. I had my calculator out thinking 'what's this going to prove? It's obviously 5000.'
Wrong!
 
Yep, got all 4 right. Which doesn't make me a bozo, whee !!! Well.... it helps that I've seen the test before and I knew to think over every answer. I can tell you, I was a bozo back then when I first did this test :) But, live and learn...

Hey Larry, keep up your good posts ! I can tell you, you seem to be a real poolplayer with a real poolplayer attitude ;) Too bad, many people don't like that type of attitude and some people will put their negative thoughts down to words. But I enjoy reading your posts. Keep 'em coming !

Perhaps we can discuss this further in Valley Forge. I'll see you there.

BTW I got only 3 right because I'm too lazy to turn on my calculator. Does that make me a bozo or just an idiot?
