Default Dementia quiz !!

Dementia Quiz

Below are four (4) questions and a Bonus question to test your perception, reasoning and the quickness of your logical processing. They are stated simply so you should try to answer them instantly.
REALLY, answer each of them immediately .

OK, Let's find out just how clever you really are....



Ready? GO! (scroll down slowly to uncover Q's and A's )





First Question:

You are a participant 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 in second place!




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 Sunshine, 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.






Take1000 and add40 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 the correct 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, and ???



What is the name of the fifth daughter?



Did you Answer Nunu? Of course it isn't.
Her name isMary!Read the question again!



Okay, now the Bonus round,
One final chance to
redeem yourself:



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?


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



It's really very simple
He opens his mouth and ask for it...

Does your employer actually pay you to think??
If so Do NOT let them see your answers for this test!


PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
HOWEVER IF YOUR GIVING THIS A LOT OF THOUGHT , THEN I'M NOT
SURE THEIR ARE ANY ...

FUMAR THE MAGNIFICENT......

I disagree with #2. If I overtake the last person, I am still in first as I have started to lap the field. They do it all the time in NASCAR.

Fumar, I flunked. I got out the calculator to prove you wrong on #3. I'm still trying to understand Zcaveman's explanation of #2.
I suppose I should be grateful. This test explains a lot.

I know exactly what Z is talking about.
Should I be worried?
