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!

Let's find out just how clever you are!


Ready?? Go! (Scroll down)

I tried not to make the post too long by spacing it out too much. Try to not to scroll down too far and read the answer. Have fun :D






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 WRONG! If you overtake the second person, you are in second place.



Try to do better on the next one but don't take as much time as you did on the first question.



Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are... (position)?





















Answer:
If you said that you are second to last, then you're WRONG again. How can you overtake the last person in a race?!





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, pencil or a calculator.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10.

What is the answer?




















Answer:
Did you get 5000?

WRONG!!

The correct answer is actually 4100. If you don't believe me, check it.

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?





















Answer:
Did you say Nunu?

WRONG again!! Of course it isn't her name! Her name is Mary! Read the question again.








Bonus Question:
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 and wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How does HE indicate what he wants?




















Answer:
He just has to open his mouth and ask...

Hoped you liked it :D

the actual answer to the third question isnt 4100 really.

as u take 1000 which makes -1000 then add 40= -960, then add 1000= 40, add 30= 70, add 1000= 1040, add 20= 1060, add 1000= 2060 add 10= 2070!!!

Diesel... You kinda messed up your calculations...

as u take 1000 which makes -1000 then add 40= -960, then add 1000= 40, add 30= 70, add 1000= 1040 (How is 70 +1000 1040?), add 20= 1060 (should be 1090), add 1000= 2060(2090) add 10= 2070(3000)!!!

Wait... I got 4100... You all miss read it

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10.

take a 1000 and add 40 to it. = 1040
add another 1000. = 2040
add a 30 in there = 2070
another 1000=3070
now add 20= 3090
add another 1000 = 4090
now add 10 = 4100

wait a second.... WTF....

EDIT: fixed it, WeWt!!1

lol, just add the 1000's first, 1000 times 4= 4000, then do the easy additions like 40 plus 10 is 50, 30 plus 20 is 50, 50 plus 50 is 100, 4000 plus 100 is....lol
