Dementia Quiz

Below are four ( 4 ) 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 .

Let’s find out just how clever you really are….

.
Ready? GO!!! (scroll down slowly –The answers follow each question.)

First Question :

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, YOU are in second place!

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?

Harder than you thought?

Third Question :

Easy 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! 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, and ______? 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?

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

It’s really very simple
He opens his mouth and ask for it…Blind people can speak.

Me loves!

I’m going to make enemies here, but I got them all right, including the bonus. But this is my kind of thing. I do logic puzzles before bed to relax Don’t ask me to learn a foreign language or spell without spell check though, cuz it’s not pretty

I am so happy! The Legislature left this afternoon for their Spring Recess which means they won’t be working for the next week which means I might be able to catch up on my work and not spend 9+ hours a day in the office and another 7 or 8 hours a night working at home every night. I’m so tired. Twice last week I came home from work and laid down on my bed for a minute. The first night I woke up 5.5 hours later, got up for 2 hours and went right back to sleep for another 6 hours til the alarm went off. The second “nap” was 7.5 hours! I got up for 2 hours again and went back to sleep until the alarm went off and still had a hard time waking up. Which reminds me…..

EMJAY! Have you written the note to the doctor yet? If you haven’t, sit down RIGHT NOW and do it! The Blake won’t be home tonight so you have time!!!

It reminded me because I want to get my Thyroid checked (people should not take 7.5 hour ‘naps’ after work and then go right back to sleep for the rest of the night. Plus my heart has been doing the fluttery irregular heartbeat thing and I keep getting lightheaded). But, my Endocrinologist is out of the office this week so I can’t even e-mail her until Monday to have her send the lab slip over. Then again, maybe I’m just exhausted

I hope everyone has a fun weekend planned. Saturday I’m going back to my hometown to spend some more time with the best friend from when I was 4. I will be so happy to get away from here for a day. Our winds are supposed to hit 40 mph and my sinuses can’t take much more. I’m so tired of itching and sneezing. Wind is fine when it rains, but not so much when it’s dry and the flowers are all in bloom.

Sunday I need to move furniture and clean the carpet and then go purchase gardening supplies so I can plant some veggies this year! YAY! I won’t plant until after Easter, but I want to get the wine barrels and dirt now.

ANT – You have been looking so adorable these last few videos…the sparkle in your eyes has been there. It’s nice to see you looking like you’re feeling a little better. I can’t wait ’til May when I get to see your show again!

I better get back to work. I want to take a 3 hour break tonight to watch the last episode of ER. I’m so sad my Thursday night friends will be leaving me

Great Big Giant Hugs for Everyone!!!

XOXO

I will come back and do the quiz tomorrow. I don’t have the patience for it right now…but I do look forward to it.

Been a long day from the doctors appointment that pissed me off…to a phone conversation that annoyed me beyond belief…I feel like a tea kettle…and the steam is stuck. Hopefully all that steam starts hissing out my ears and nose and everywhere else soon…cause…this holding it in crap aint sitting so well right now.

alright…I’m off to try to watch tv.

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

T..Congrats and yes please get your thyroid checked and hope they can find why your sleeping so much..Would help if your work settled down but I know that can’t be helped.

So I might need some plastic surgery on my earlobe…That’s the last place I would even consider getting any work done on…lol ugh..j/k I’ve been torturing it the last 2 days trying to get a earing post in…I’m literally obsessed with it now..Every half hr I’m trying to push it through..Oil, Vaseline, hot compresses, ice , you name it, I’ve tried..It’s swollen and sore but I won’t stop..I’ve got the left one in no problem..It’s the right that’s causing all the problems..The post is thicker than normal and curved…You can see the photo of it on MS…

Right now as I type I’m staring at a paperclip that I just want to bend open and stick it through…This is going to be a long weekend..I’m can be a tad OCD and I won’t stop until my task is completed…Wish me luck ..oh my poor ear will never be the same.

Lydia sorry your day was so stressed…I hope tomorrow will be a better one.

ANT xoxo You really are looking Fantabulous these days.

Emjay, Shannon..Thinking of you.~

Heidi….the more you poke at it right now, the more swollen it’s going to get and the less chance you have of getting the earring in. Do you have a regular size earring you can put in there for the night and try again tomorrow?
Heidi Says:

T..yes I have a stud in now..Weird..I can fit that and others that are straight but not this.

To be continued when I get it in..

Have a good day everyone.

I just needed to spew frustration last night..and Cathy had a headache so I didn’t need to gripe to her all night and I just needed a place to put it.

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

Wanted to stop by and see how everyone was.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

I have chemo Tuesday and Friday this week.
We had an appointment with a specialist in St Louis Friday.
They said that since one tumor has been completely eliminated if they can get the others reduced that surgery would be an option. Which it was impossible before. So I am going to fight as hard as I can for that chance.

Thinking of all of you…XO

Shannon! That is great news! I can’t tell you how big I smiled when I read your post. Keep up the good work!!! You are absolutely amazing!

My day failed, but that’s okay. I hit the road this morning and had to pull over three times in the first 15 miles because I kept getting lightheaded and thought I was going to pass out. During stop #3 I called my friend and told her what was going on and that I wouldn’t make it over today (I felt it was too dangerous to drive the remaining 60 miles). It’s irritating when it happens at home or at work but I just breathe through it and move on…it’s another story when I’m behind the wheel of a car.

I don’t know if it’s the sinus infection messing with my ears, or if my thyroid dose is off, or I’m anemic, or what…but it’s getting old!

My cute son got online and found a list of iron rich foods and then went through and asked me what I could eat off the list (not much). Then he and his girlfriend took my shopping list and went to Walmart. They came home with everything on my list plus broccoli (one of the few things on the “iron” list I can eat), Vitamin C (because he read that it helps with iron absorption) and a sinus rinse (actually 50 of them) They are such great kids/young adults. I think I’ll keep them.

My endocrinologist is back from vacation. She e-mailed this afternoon and has sent the thyroid lab request to the lab…they aren’t open on weekends so I’ll stop on my way to work Monday. I should have the results sometime Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

Needless to say, I didn’t do much today. I sat around and watched TV/Movies and did 5 or 6 loads of laundry. I did make twice-baked potatoes because my son asked so nicely (and he had been so nice to me this morning). I can’t believe it’s almost 7pm…I feel like it should be Noon. Oh well, a wasted day every now and then is okay.

Heidi, how is your ear? I’m really worried about it. After all that poking and prodding I’m afraid that now that you have the ‘larger’ post in, your hole is going to be stretched out. I’m also concerned, if you leave it in there, that it’s going to attach itself to the earring…I had that happen once with a normal size post when I poked it through after not having worn earrings for a long time (the hole had closed on the backside). Please promise me that you’ll clean it with peroxide, or something, a few times a day so it doesn’t get infected.

Lydia, I saw your pictures on FB. What a fun day! Had you guys seen them before or was this the kids’ first time? I saw them a few years ago and I think I had more fun at 40 than the 7 year olds I was with

EmmyJay – I just saw your latest ostpay on acebookfay and you are the biggest oofballgay! I want you to be my next door neighbor! Please move to California so I can knock on your door and ask, “Can MJ come out and play?”

Elena – You need to be Emjay’s roommate next door so I can just sit back and watch the two of you. You can’t pay for that kind of entertainment

Hermit, are you still with us?

JPB – How are you and the girls doing? We haven’t heard from you in so long. Please check in when you get a chance.

ANT – I hope you’re having a great weekend. Candace said to tell you, “Hi” She’s still waiting in line to be your FB friend. I ’share’ your videos with her and she loves them.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

{{{hugs}}}

I must stop with these long rambling posts!
