    that was fun but easy... the bonus question got me though... that was irritating that i missed that.

    give us more!!!


  • 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!

    Funny, but seriously, "overtake" doesn't mean to "take the place of". It means even with or pass. So you are either tied for first or first on your own, never second.


















    Is this still part of the test???

    um, no, if you are third and you pass the guy in second, then you are second. You would have to pass the guy in first place to be first.

    Chance for redemption:

    A father and his son are driving in a car together and get into a terrible accident. The father is killed immediately, and the son is injured and rushed to the ER. Once he arrives, the ER doctor says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!"

    Who is the doctor?

    I didn't get it at first either, and it was actually in front of my mom and she got a little pissed off.

    Sorry to ruin the party vibe in here, but I think using "Dementia" in the test title is really offensive. Cognitive function and intelligence are totally different things. Do people realize how serious and debilitating various forms of dementia are, including Alzheimer's Disease? It's very tragic for both the patient and his or her caregiver(s).

    The Dementia was the title... And yes Dementia is no fun... Yes I am extemely close to someone who is a caregiver and yes people who do own facilities for people who have dimentia make very good money, so I think it goes with the territory.. Though I couldn't do that job...

    And on that note you must of missed all of them questions... Don't take it to serious you are a smart person, just don't be so competative and you won't get so upset, Group Hug???...

    Actually, if you are in a race with only ONE other person, and you overtake the "second person", then you are in FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!

    I had the math one. Why would anyone think it's 5000, when you're adding 1000 four different times, and the other numbers being added are two digits? Fools.

    Not to nit pick either but...


    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?


    Wouldn't you be in first place? Cause you've probably just lapped the last person?

    Or really I guess you could be in any position...
