Dementia Quiz

Below are four 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. To assure the accuracy of the results, you should not take your time, but instead, answer each of them immediately.

Question 1: 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...?













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.

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?

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!

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? NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary you dummy! Read the question again!

Okay, now the Bonus round, 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.

Have a nice day, one and all.



Comment on the following questions.

How'd you do? Do you feel stupid or did you out-smart the 6 truths of life and the dementia quiz? Which, if any, of the quiz questions did you answer correctly?

Sniper Executed

During three weeks in October 2002, Muhammad and accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo, then 17, killed 10 people and wounded three, while taunting police with written messages and phoned-in threats and demands. Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad was executed Tuesday by lethal injection. The mastermind behind the Washington-area sniper attacks of 2002 that terrorized the nation's capital was declared dead at 9:11 p.m. Muhammad died very peacefully, much more than most of his victims.

Among the witnesses were about a dozen members of the prosecution task force. Bob Meyers, whose 53-year-old brother Dean was shot dead while pumping gas in Virginia, called Tuesday's spectacle "surreal." "Watching the life be sapped out of somebody intentionally was very different and an experience I'd never had." "I'd watched my mother die of natural causes, but that was very different." He said he may have attained some closure, "but I would say that pretty much was overcome just by the sadness that the whole situation generates in my heart. That he would get to the place where he did what he did, and that it had to come to this." Meyers said he has forgiven Muhammad for two reasons: "One is that God calls for me to do that in the Bible, and the second thing is related to that. If I don't, it rots me from the inside out. It doesn't really hurt John Muhammad or anybody that I have bitterness against."

Watch the videos before commenting.

How do you feel about the death penalty? Do you think Muhammad deserved to die? Would your reaction to Muhammad's execution be similar or different from Bob Meyers' described above? How so?
