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?

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.

how did you do?

got em all right

Savio · Oct 25, 2005, 09:32 PM // 21:32

Erm...there's a curve, right?

Mercury Angel · Oct 25, 2005, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Missed the first, last, and bonus question, though I didn't say Nunu on the last one.
The first one was not paying attention, the second one was simple after being caught off-guard by the first, the third confused me as to why it was even a question, the fourth got me lulled back into a false sense of security, and the last one invoked prejudice against disabled people, tricking me into thinking that a blind person was otherwise invalid.
Kind of like those people that shout at blind people even though they don't have a hearing disability.

All-in-all, rather fun.

I got a chuckle out of it.

Although, I will admit that for the overtaking the last person, my first answer was 'a late entry'.

John Waffletord · Oct 26, 2005, 12:35 PM // 12:35

damnit.. i got one right.

Demonstar · Oct 26, 2005, 01:00 PM // 13:00

I demand to retake this test!

;-;

nightrunner · Oct 27, 2005, 02:06 AM // 02:06

...Is there anything I can do for extra credit?

Nyax Soulreaper · Oct 27, 2005, 02:09 AM // 02:09

the math one was easiest for me... took 5 seconds and i DID only use my head.

EchoSex · Oct 27, 2005, 02:18 AM // 02:18

The race ones I got right, althought I couldn't give you an answer for the last question as I didn't know how many people wer ein the race... The blind one got me, though :P

Sai of Winter · Oct 27, 2005, 02:28 AM // 02:28

Lmao This test messes with your mind if you think too quickly. Must take the next test very slowly.

Nick The Nicker · Oct 27, 2005, 02:30 AM // 02:30

Yes, got them all right

heist23 · Oct 27, 2005, 02:45 AM // 02:45

wow....haha. i got em all wrong. my mind is messed up from reading too much GWG...

chris_nin00 · Dec 13, 2005, 04:37 AM // 04:37

This is a gold mine!

I got the name, and math part right.

The race killed me. The blind man asked me for money.

I think everyone should try this.

Strik3r · Dec 13, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

I only got one of them lol.

Green Booger · Dec 13, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

got the races wrong, i didnt know what "Overtake" meant. Other then that, i did ok

fiery · Dec 13, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

that mute was on one of my forensic quizes test..

another one that was on the quiz was..

a man was found dead on the ground with a package beside him, what is his cause of death?

______________________________________

he was parachuting and package was what he was holding.

Swampgirl Inez · Dec 13, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

I got the name one right. And I was lured into second guessing myself too much and got a completely different answer than either one given for the math one. I blame the rest on it being close to my bedtime.

Green Booger · Dec 13, 2005, 04:47 AM // 04:47

ok i got a good question too. but it works better for people if you tell them. ok, a plane crashes in the boarder of Wisconsin and ILlinois, where do the survivors get buried?

You dont bury survivors

darkdragon99 · Dec 13, 2005, 04:48 AM // 04:48
