Test for Dementia OT

[Don Coatney]

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....

Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)

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 mess 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...?

(scroll down)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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! 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 answer.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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....

....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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.... Like you!

I did not do very well on this test. I did get the first one right:cool:

[Plymouthy Adams]

Tim;

You are demented. Who said it was a car race:confused:

[Plymouthy Adams]

no one said it was not...I may be perverted but I am not demented..will accept eccentric...

[Don Coatney]

no one said it was not...I may be perverted but I am not demented..will accept eccentric...

I thought I was the winner in the perverted race:D Eccentricity was for old folks I thought:rolleyes: My dementia may still be on the fence:confused:

[Plymouthy Adams]

being eccentric is not for the elderly..it is for those who can afford it...

been a very nice day for out in the shop...bad part is the work I am doing is such that I cannot do anything else till it is finished..slowing me down in one way...but every completed step gets ya closer...

Tim;

Closer to what? Am I going to have to start ragging you about trips to the end of the driveway:D

[Plymouthy Adams]

Hey..you can rag me about driving to the back yard...at least I got a couple acres I can drive on....lol

I'm just doing my best to get this car back to the point that it is one one piece..and in primer as a mininum..got most of the undercoatney off the front...could use about another 20 hours in a day, 4 more arms and hands and access to a few more bank accounts...lol

[PatS....]

I only got #4 right.

I don't have dimentia, but that darn alzheimers was horrible till I got over it...

[Frank Elder]

This thread is funny! Some of the best threads I find are by checking what the guests are reading in the archieves.

[Plymouthy Adams]

most of the guests are FBI, CIA and NSA agents..sometimes I think INS is in there also..but that would make me paranoid to suspect the INS..

[Don Jordan]

Sometimes when everyone is out to get you paranoia is not a bad thing.

[T120]

...Hmmm..I guess it may cause a person to be suspicious

Browsing Old Cemeteries

A truly Happy Person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

And, one who can enjoy browsing old cemeteries...

Some fascinating things on old tombstones!

Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York :

Born 1903--Died 1942.

Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the

car was on the way down. It was.

In a Thurmont, Maryland , cemetery:

Here lies an Atheist, all dressed up and no

place to go.

On the grave of Ezekial Aikle in

East Dalhousie Cemetery , Nova Scotia :

Here lies Ezekial Aikle, Age 102. Only The

Good Die Young.

In a London , England cemetery:

Here lies Ann Mann, Who lived an old maid

but died an old Mann. Dec. 8, 1767

In a Ribbesford, England , cemetery:

Anna Wallace

The children of Israel wanted bread, And

the Lord sent them manna. Clark Wallace

wanted a wife, And the Devil sent him Anna.

In a Ruidoso, New Mexico , cemetery:

Here lies Johnny Yeast.... Pardon him

for not rising.

In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery:

Here lays The Kid.

We planted him raw.

He was quick on the trigger

But slow on the draw.

A lawyer's epitaph in England :

Sir John Strange.

Here lies an honest lawyer,

and that is Strange..

John Penny's epitaph in the Wimborne,

England , cemetery:

Reader, if cash thou art in want of any,

Dig 6 feet deep and thou wilt find a Penny.

In a cemetery in Hartscombe , England :

On the 22nd of June, Jonathan Fiddle went

out of tune.

Anna Hopewell's grave in Enosburg Falls ,

Vermont :

Here lies the body of

our Anna,

Done to death by a banana.

It wasn't the fruit that laid her low,

But the skin of the thing that made her go.

On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket ,

Massachusetts :

Under the sod and under the trees,

Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.

He is not here, there's only the pod.

Pease shelled out and went to God.

In a cemetery in England :

Remember man, as you walk by,

As you are now, so once was I

As I am now, so shall you be.

Remember this and follow me.

To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone:

To follow you I'll not consent.

Until I know which way you went.

[T120]

..Very good,got me laughing

[PatS....]

Don, those were good...especially:

On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket ,

Massachusetts :

Under the sod and under the trees,

Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.

He is not here, there's only the pod.

Pease shelled out and went to God.

[Frank Blackstone]

OK Coatney What will your epitath be? I'd rather be in Philadelphia is WC Frields's.

[Joe Flanagan]

I don't need to take the test for dementia. I have it and that's that.

[greg g]

People ask what is it like after death??? One must surmise it very much like it was before birth. The next question might be which is longer?

[PatS....]

I like Woody Allens answer to "Are you afraid of death?"

"NO, I just don't want to be there when it happens!"

Dimentia is only in the eye of the beholder.
