Dementia Quiz: (Answers are at the bottom)

First Question :

Second Question :
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

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?


Fourth Question:

Okay, now the Bonus round,
I.e., 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?




Answers:
1. 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?

2. 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?

3. 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...

4. Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary ! Read the question again!

Bonus Question: It's really very simple
He opens his mouth and ask for it...

I am on a diet/exercise program. I am always talking about it. I think some of my buddies are tired of hearing about how I lost this much weight or so many inches off my stomach and hips. So when my friend sent this to me I was a little unsure how to take it. But knowing his sense of humor and how well he knows mine...I thought it very funny.

The leaves are starting to change in some areas of Michigan. Apple orchards are making their cider, apple picking is everywhere. The air is cooler, ideal weather actually. The kids are back in school, so the neighborhood is quieter during the day, but also lonely. Summer plants are starting to wilt and die, which mean more yard work. Why do we plant them in the spring, nurture them through the summer, only to have to pull them out or cut them back and then repeat the cycle next year...it is a mystery.

This part of the Midwest has another tradition though that starts now: RED WING HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!


Oh sure, the Tigers are still playing and they are doing well, The Pistons will continue to do well, The Lions....well not much to say there as you know. But the RED WINGS! I just love to watch them play. And who doesn't want Stanley! I mean come on...WE LOVE STANLEY...except when we lose it to non flying birds :)

Now there is a "bug" in the broadcasting this year that is totally messing me up. We have Direct TV and always got the games either on Fox Sports Detroit or Versus. Now Comcast who owns Versus has upped their rates so Direct TV no longer broadcasts them. Now do I complain to Direct TV for not upping our rates to meet the demands of Comcast (who I don't like, lousy programming in this area) or should I write to the NHL who won't care that a handful of fans can't watch all the games.

There is also the option of Channel 9 out of Windsor, Ontario, Canada which is right across the Detroit River from us and by those of us in this part of Michigan we consider it a local channel. But the Canadian government will not sign a contract with Direct TV so they can broadcast it, they let Comcast broadcast it. So should I complain to the Canadian Government who if anything like ours, won't care.

It is a conundrum (good word) all right!
