Dementia test
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:
< span>
< span>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 too! K for the first question, OK?
Second Question:
If you 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 be! Lieve 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?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
< span>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.... Like you!
PASS TH IS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

Rick,
I got 5000 and then re-did the sum in my head quite a few times........and I kept getting 5000
But it is a very clever question, as somewhere in the calculation process the brain takes a "shortcut" and trips up to give you the (wrong) answer as 5000..............I think most peeps trip up where I put the bold print.
Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30.
Add another 1000. Now add 20.
Now add another 1000 (HERE - your brain says the total so far is 4990)
Now add 10. What is the total?
Scroll down for answer.....

The correct answer is actually 4100.

I added the 40 and 30 and 20 and 10 to get 100, then counted 4 1000's = 4100. When i do mental arithmetic, or any to be honest, i always work with the like terms, group them, then add to the other group terms.
