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:
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:
I f 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 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.... Like you!




PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE

Your in any place other than last, if your running round a track its perfectly possible to overtake the person in last as long as your not actually last...

If you overtake the last person you could also be first cos that was the last person you could overtake.

I don't think this question actually works.
