Vile_DR Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 A One-question IQ Test A mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper, and the purchase is completed. Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself? Think about it first before reading the answer... He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses." If you got this wrong, go on home -- call it a day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tg1911 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I thought I'd seen that one before.After going through some of my jokes I found it.It was part of a 4 question test with a bonus question.That was the bonus question.Here's the first 4 questions of the test:Test for DementiaBelow are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answerthem 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 screw up in the next question.To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.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 math! 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?.......Did you get 5000?The correct answer is actually 4100.Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right?Fourth Question:Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.What is the name of the fifth daughter?.......Answer: Nunu?NO! Of course not.Her name is Mary. Read the question again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
