Dementia Test
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 TO DO BETTER 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?
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.
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. 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: NANA, 2. NENE, 3. NINI, 4. NONO, AND?
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 QUESTION, A 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 ASKS FOR IT.
DOES YOUR EMPLOYER ACTUALLY PAY YOU TO THINK? IF SO DO NOT LET THEM SEE YOUR ANSWERS TO THIS TEST!

I got 5000 the first time on the math question somehow... re-did it in my head and got 4100. Dunno how I came up with 5K the first time.
The answer to the question about overtaking the person in last place isn't 100% accurate. If it's a race with several laps, it's entirely possible for an extremely fast person to lap an extremely slow person. It could be said that the person in 1st place overtook the person in last again.
