Sorry this is a bit of a mess but I copied it because the email wanted to down load something that I wasnât sure of and it went a bit funny when I copied it.
But I really thought it was worthwhile sending.

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 :
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, how can you
overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this, are you?
Third Question :
Very tricky arithmetic!
This must be done in your head ONLY
Do not use paper & 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?
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....
Fourth Question :
Mary's father has five daughters:
1.Nana, 2.Nene, 3.Nini, 4.Nono.
What's 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 Round :
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?
He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple !
