Test For Dementia
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. 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 place person. What position are you in?
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you
are wrong! If you overtake the second place person,
and you take their place, you are second!
To answer the second question, don't take as much time
as you took for the first question.
Second Question:
If you are in a race, and 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 having a good
time at this! Are you?
Very tricky maths! Note: This must be done in your
head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a
calculator. Try it.
Third Question:
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?
Answer: Did you get 5000? The correct answer is
actually 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your
calculator!
Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get
the last question right?
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3.
Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth
daughter?
Answer: Nunu? NO! Of course not. Her name is Mary.
Read the question again!
Okay, now the bonus round. You can partially redeem
yourself with this one!!!!!
Bonus Question:
There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush.
By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he
successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and
the purchase is done. Now if there is a blind man who
wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he
express himself?
Answer: He just has to open his mouth and ask. He's
blind, not mute - so simple.

That question is really actually worded wrong because it doesn't say what position you are in.
And obviously if you are overtaking the last person...
You could be first...second...third...or even forth depending on how many people are in the race.

thats going beyond the question tho. all the questions are tick questions, so naturally not needing sunglasses would be an appropiate answer.

"Now if there is a blind man who

nowhere does it state whether he needs them or not. all it's asking is how would he ask for them
