Test for Dementia
Below are four questions and a bonus question. You are required to answer them immediately. Please don't take your time to answer all of them so that this can provide you with a base assessment of the rate of dementia.
Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)
First Question:
You are participating in a race.
You overtake the second person.
What position are you in?
(scroll)
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 in second place!
(Try not to screw up next time.)
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person in a race,
then you are in what place?
(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.
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 5th daughter?
Did you Answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary.
Read the question again! (We have a real dumkoff with advanced dementia in the making)
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. Tsk! Tsk!
