Test for Dementia
Below 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....


Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)


First Question:

Y ou 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:
If y ou overtake the last person, then you are...?
(scroll down)







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~







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 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?


Scroll down for answer.....








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 t o 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 just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.... Like you!













KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE

Take care,

That was great! I contest the answer to the 3rd question though because I was thinking out of the box and assuming the person doing the overtaking was just joining into the race, not already in it

That was very funny though! Thanks for sharing it!!

I think I got one right. Maybe not......

I was so frustrated, I forwarded this to my big brother who's a Ph.D. Guy. Lets see if he does any better. Nah, he won't! Silly me.

I got all the questions right, minus the math one (not mystrong point by far :P)

Which mine is not apparently. I won't tell you my score. Just suffice it to say my IQ must be in the single digit range today!

If I got the last 3 right, how demented does that make me?

Those first 2 are like the logic questions they used to throw at us on tests in school. I always got them wrong then, too. Guess I'm not very logical! LOL

Well I got all of 'em... except for the math one! And it's way too embarassing to admit how long it took me to figure out *why* it wasn't 5000 - even with a calculator! LOL!
