Test for Dementia

No doubt it's been done a million times.......but it's an oldie and a goodie

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?
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 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 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 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 just has to open his mouth and ask...


It's really very simple....

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?

What if you are second last and you have just lapped him:confused: then your still second last, so your right

I've forgotten what this is all about, when will my fish & chips be ready?

[Cliff Rogers]

.... when will my fish & chips be ready?

Thursday, you want fries with that?

[ernknot]

If there are two people in the race and the other is the second person then you would be the first if you overtake him.

Had you said the "second placed" person I would agree with you.

If you remember the Johnny Cash song, "A boy named Sue", you would not be so dogmatic in assuming/asserting that Mary is a daughter. The problem says nothing about how many other sons Mary's father had.
Boy, your post was supposed to be a bit of fun, but see what happens!!!!!!!!!
