A Simple Test

[bazzah]

Have you tried this one before?


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 mess 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:
V ery 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!

well im half way there i dont think thats a good sign

[StoneCold]

Yay I got the bonus round right, and I'm certain the maths question isn't 4100 damn it!

[ubl6612]

I hate you!!

Actually I got 3 out 5 right, but obviously it should have been 5 out of 5.

[golemeye]

Ok, I guess I don't get the joke.
Why would it be 5000?
Why am I starting to feel that thinking I answered all the questions correctly means the joke is on me?

[Arkflip]

5 out of 5! Damn, i'm good!!

[zantasha]

4 out of 5... i couldn't get the right answer of question 2 :doh:

[Krafty]

Your good, your very good.

Unlike me. I counted 5000.
I gonna test my son in the morning. Bet he does better than I did.

[bazzah]

If you count the figure in question 3 in order, you seem to calculate the last figure as 1000 instead of 10, giving you 5000. (or at least that is what I done) But if you count all the 1000's together to get the 4000, then add the other numbers, it adds to 4100.

Ditto.
