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....
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 next time.
Now answer the second question,
but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?


Second Question:
I f 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:
V ery tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .

Add another 1000 . Now add 20 . Now add another 1000

Okay, now the bonus round:

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?








He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple....
