<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>TEST FOR DEMENTIA</span id=&#39;red&#39;>

Below are four (<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>4</span id=&#39;red&#39;>) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can&#39;t take your time, answer all of them <span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>immediately.</span id=&#39;red&#39;> OK?


Let&#39;s find out just how clever you really are....



Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)













<span style=&#39;color:green&#39;>First Question: </span id=&#39;green&#39;>

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?













<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>Answer:</span id=&#39;red&#39;>

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&#39;t take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?



<span style=&#39;color:purple&#39;>Second Question:</span id=&#39;purple&#39;>

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
(scroll down)

















<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>Answer: </span id=&#39;red&#39;>

If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?


<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>You&#39;re not very good at this, are you?</span id=&#39;red&#39;>






<span style=&#39;color:maroon&#39;>Third Question:</span id=&#39;maroon&#39;>

Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do <span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>NOT</span id=&#39;red&#39;> 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&#39;t believe it, check it with a calculator!

<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>Today is definitely not your day, is it?
Maybe you&#39;ll get the last question right....
....Maybe.</span id=&#39;red&#39;>



<span style=&#39;color:navy&#39;>Fourth Question:</span id=&#39;navy&#39;>

Mary&#39;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&#39;t.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!



<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>Okay, now the bonus round: </span id=&#39;red&#39;>


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 <span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>HE</span id=&#39;red&#39;> indicate what he wants?















He just has to open his mouth and ask...
<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>It&#39;s really very simple.... Like you!</span id=&#39;red&#39;>








<span style=&#39;color:red&#39;>

SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE</span id=&#39;red&#39;>

[Frosty]

Got me with the first two, then the brain cells kicked into gear, very clever though, thanks.

[Jo]

Failed miserably... I was quite intelligent before I had children and a villa.

Now at least I know my limits!

[Lyn]

I say I was senile but I'm not sure I can spell it!

[Paula D-S]

I went over and over the maths question. I was convinced YOU had it wrong.[msnembarrased]

Off to see the doc.
