Dementia Questions
First question:
You are a participant in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in? Spoiler:
*************************** Second question: If you overtake the last person, then you are....? Spoiler:
*************************** 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? Spoiler:
************************************** 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? Spoiler:
************************************ Okay, now the bonus round, Ie. 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? ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ Spoiler:

Paul - you're definitely in the wrong race, perhaps last week's Grand Prix, instead of the marathon.... |

Upon this, I've stumbled, too. Thought it too sophisticated a question: who can be behind the last one? Uuh? |

GeoffC; you just lowered my self-esteem considerably by this quiz. Thanks.
I won't even tell my score, but 8.00 in the morning is waaay too early to do this; I'll take it again this evening and let you all know. Last edited by desertblues; 04-01-2011 at 04:28 AM. |

Number 3 is one of those that makes one seriously doubt ones sanity - it really did take the use of a calculator for me to convince myself the error of my mental arithmetic, of which I am usually fairly good.
Even when I just added the 1000's by themselves and then added up the other numbers I still got it wrong !!!! Shame on moi..... |
