During a visit to the mental hospital, a visitor asked the Director what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized. "Well,"
said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub"
Okay, here's your test: (Those with an abnormal tendency will scroll to the bottom to get the answer before even taking this test!)

1. Would you use the spoon? or

2. Would you use the tea! cup? or

3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon or the cup."

SCROLL DOWN

Yes, further down













"Noooooo," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug".

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't.
While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so.....And there's nothing you can do about it if you say you did it.. YOUR LYING to YOURSELF.. because it CAN"T Be DONE..

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.

OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are....
Ready? GO!!! No cheating....


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 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?








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




Answer : If you answer ed 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?




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?






Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100..



If you don't believ e it, 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, 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,
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?




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

Does your employer actually pay you to think??
If so Do NOT let them see your answers for this test!

MIND GAME


2% or 98%

This is strange...can you figure it out?
Are you the 2% or 98% of the population?
Follow the instructions! NO PEEKING AHEAD!
* Do the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.
* There's no trick or surprise.
* Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can!
* Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them .. really.


Think of a number from 1 to 10

Multiply that number by 9

If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together

Now subtract 5

Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with

(example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)

Think of a country that starts with that letter

Remember the last letter of the name of that country

Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter

Remember the last letter in the name of that animal

Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter........












Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?





I told you this was FREAKY!! If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise. Keep this message going. This one is actually worth sending on to others. Forward it to people you know so they can find out if they are usual or unusual
