    Default Quiz.

    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 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 d own for answer.....
    < BR>







    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    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!

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    I got the first four, just messed up the bonus round. I thought a blind man wouldn't need sunglasses...

    The first two caught me off-guard. I got the last three correct.

    All but the number one, and that was 'cos I thought you were being cheeky with the wording "take 1000" implying starting with -1000, and thereby getting 2100 as the final answer... Sometimes I just think too hard.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Rumours...
