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 BEFORE looking at the answer. OK?



Let's find out just how clever you really are....



Ready? GO!!!



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...?  (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, one LAST CHANCE - 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.









Have a Great Day (unless you are planning something else.)

[hopeful]

I got 2 right!   :laugh2:

(I didn't even try the math one!)

[eirinikos]

 I got the math one right, but all the others I bombed. So I guess I have dementia  :dontknow:

[Burl]

Yes I'm still demented even tho I've taken that test before.

[Cardinal]

 :cloud9: I've lived thru 3 teenagers. I didn't need to take the test to know I've got it :grin:

[shibboleth]

Hey, I got all 5 wrong. I guess I'm really demented. HaHa! :Chinscratch:

[SeekerSA]

Hey, I got all 5 wrong. I guess I'm really demented. HaHa! :Chinscratch:

Never mind, there is medication available  :laughing7:

[pneuma]

I got 2 right!   :laugh2:

(I didn't even try the math one!)

Hope I got 2 right also, guess were both only partly demented :laughing7:

[hopeful]

I wonder who comes up with these sort of things.   :happy3:
Surely it must be some mastermind. :happy3:

[Casstranquility]

I got two right, too! :)

I've even done a lot of these before. Of course, I wasn't too good at those either.

I think this one is funny-same rules as before-don't think about it:

A plane full of people is heading to Brazil from the United States. The plane crashes in Peru. Where do they bury the survivors?






-----------------------------------------------------------






They don't bury the survivors!! :)

If you overtake the last person, then you are...? 

The writer of the Q&A had dementia too I guess.
The only correct answer is "Not enough data to answer"
It depends on the sport but take F1 for example.
It's not so unusal someone is a few laps behind.
So you can overtake the last one.
That can give you a position between 1st and last  :laughing7:

[Davo22]

Blow that. I'm hopeless with anything like that. Weather it be an IQ test or any other type of test, I always flunk after a few rounds. Haha. When I got to the math one, all my school memories started to come back and haunt me! :doh:

[Craig]

The 'last' place person question messed me up. But I hate non-relevant questions anyways because they are made to trick you. I said, well if I over take someone who is in last place, I either am in last place, or last place to me. If I am in last place, I cannot overtake myself but if I am last and overtake last place in position to me, I become second last. Blah.

[martincisneros]

The race question presumes that you're in the race already, and if there's a last person to be overtaken, the you're obviously not the last person.  But if you accidentally overtook them, then you're the one trailing behind.  And as far as the math question, if that tripped anybody up, just re-read it a couple of times to know that it's just adding everything up and then add the small numbers first in your head (they equal "100") and then add the thousands and you come up with the 4100.  It's really not that hard.

BTW: Craig, with what you mentioned sometime back, have you tried to get into Triple Nine?  www.triplenine.org

You can't make that statement without more data. There are many answers but I'll explain with the most easy one.
Assume you are in a F1 race. You are 5 laps ahead on the 2nd fastest driver in that race.
You are number one in that race.
No matter who and how many you overtake you still be number one.
After all 5, 6, 7...50 laps ahead is still number 1.


If it's a game without laps like 100m sprint then you have enough data to make any claim.
If you overtake the last person youself where last and now are second last. But strickly speaking the last person you overtake excludes yourself.... So this would be a trick question. (same if you where last on the above laps example)


To summarize:
No laps: Impossible
Laps: not enough data. Number 1 or impossible

Exactly, I was thinking that if I overtook the last person also means I lapped them.
