Test for Dementia

B elow are four (4 ) questions and a bonus question. 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....

First Question:

Y o u 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 next time.

Now answer the second question,

but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?

Second Question:

I f 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:

V ery tricky arithmetic! 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?

Did you get 5000 ?

The correct answer is actually 4100.

If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!

Today is definitely not your day, is it?

Maybe you'll get the last question right....

Maybe.

Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini,

4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Did you Answer Nunu?

NO! Of course it isn't.

Her name is Mary. ! Read the question again!

Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By

imitating the action ! of brushing his teeth he successfully

expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is

done.

Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of

sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

He j ust has to open his mouth and ask...

It's really very simple.... Like you!

DUH! I can't believe I missed the second one. DUH!

WHATS WHAT ALL THE OLD GUY THREADS LATELY ;D

I don't know how, but I got the math question right.  

WHATS WHAT ALL THE OLD GUY THREADS LATELY ;D

Remember when it used to be "Never trust anyone over 30"? Now you're thinking,

"Never trust anyone under 50!"

I RESEMBLE THAT LAST REMARK ;D

What Muddy Said!!!!!!!!!!

I missed the one about Nunu.  ;D

I must really be dumb because I still can't figure the math one out.  I used a calculator and got 4100 but in my head I get 5000,,,,I don't understand....

Read it slower...There's 4 1000's then you add 40+30+20+10=100.Your mind is thinking another "1000".

It's a trick question.

Dont feel bad....I had to do the math three times in my head AFTER using the calculator.

I think thats the one that screws me up the most.   ;D

I am actually ashamed to admit this but I got every single one of them wrong...I'm going back to bed...I think I need more sleep.
