These are pretty clever. Don't rush. Study each picture and try to determine what it represents, before looking at the answer below the picture. They are a play on words. Good luck!
Answers are all in one spot at the bottom.

On a related note, these all appear to have come from worth1000.com, which runs regular Photoshop contests. We'll worth the visit (just don't do it right before a big deadline).

LOL, I got exactly none of them. But I suppose that might be because I mistook the phrase "what it represents". I was thinking of stuff like, I don't know, "courage, romance, fear" ... not actual things.

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?
Spoiler: 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...?
Spoiler: | 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 1 000 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?
Spoiler:
Did you get 5000 ?
The correct answer is actually 4100. |
If you don't believe it, now 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?
Spoiler: 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?
Spoiler:
He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.... |
Thanks for playing along, and might want to share this with others, just do not tell them how you did!!!!

I don't know if I dare admit that I've done this before and was feeling very smug working the answers out until I got to overtaking the last place question and still got it wrong! Duh! These questions are just designed to make ou feel thick right?  |
