You stink and I'm as sharp as a marble.

Well, at least I got the last one......mama didn't raise no fool

yea I got the last one also.

I tripped on the first three but I came back strong on the last one! Go Me

got them all

Prove it Al! damn it

I got the one about overtaking the person in last place, I thought you would be lapping them

come up with some more and ask me in the chat (not tonight, though, I need to go to sleep)!

Hell I'm not smart enough to get into the chat room, let alone try to stump you

Got em all too, and I agree, if you overtake last place you have lapped them. 'course, you wouldn't have to be in 1st place to do that.
I attribute my huge brain to IGF-1 usage.

Damn, I need to read some more books or go back to school or something........

0/4 -- Damn I'm dumb

Cool!

Got 1 wrong

I think what throws everyone off is the instruction to think as fast as you can. You miss the small details. I don't have that ability so I'm immune.

3 out of 4 isn't bad

Got em all, to overtake the person in last you could be anyone ahead of them... lapping them of course.
