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 in the next question.

To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.







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 math! 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.



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:


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?














He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.

[T.I.E]

you can overtake the last person if you are circuit racing if you were the first and then lapped them.

and the nunu one sucked.










(just cause i got it wrong)

[Sparky Bills]

YAY!!!
I have Dementia!

[mstriumph]

got the MATH wrong

*will never be able to look a calculator in the face again*

[and no, PF, i don't think you are any more demented than the rest of us here ... ]

[Sniper]

I Got them all right

[mstriumph]

that's because you are just soooooo purrrrrrrfect

[kerryg]

Shit. Oh well, no surprises there then.......

[Waylander]

Uh.. I got them all wrong what does that make me? Am I demented or not?

[MSTRS:Me]

I Got them all right

I didn't

[Sniper]

I suppose its just my brain. Either that or........

[jrandom]

their not really dementia tests you silly people, their just little trick questions exploiting pop psychology and typical comprehension patterns to fuddle you up.

if theyres one thing I cant stand, its people who use questions like that in job interviews.

any job you get interviewed for and they aks you a question ilke that, walk straight out the door, because their wankers who dont actually undersatnd the nature of measurable intelligence.

I hereby piss on all 'aha' riddles.

[tinkle, tinkle]

[mstriumph]

we KNOW that [at least, i think we all do?] ........ but its fuuuuuuun!!

[jrandom]

we KNOW that [at least, i think we all do?] ........ but its fuuuuuuun!!

of course.

I just have some 'history' in that area involving fighting the fine fight against misguided pasty-fat-white-boy intellectual elitism.

and reading these kinds of puzzles gives me flashbacks.

i'll just be over in the corner rocking back and forth and moaning softly for a bit. scuse me.

also note that I make no apologies for my quoting.

[mstriumph]

*doesn't like interviews either ...*

Only one I got wrong was the Maths one and I didn't need to use a calculator to prove it was 4100 - once I read it I realised where I screwed up.

Standard tests for dementia include asking the subject common knowledge questions and personal questions they should know the answer to - like the names of their children etc.
