I got every single one of them wrong!!!! Really puts a dent in the ol' ego.

I got the last one right!

making reservations for my padded room, now...

What she said!!!

Jan in VA

Well, I got the third one correct, but sure did miss the others!!

YUP! I have dementia! I will get a bed right next to my mother.

I have a whole new outlook on getting old :cry: LOL

I got TWO right--so is that half-heimers?

I missed them all. Oh well. Maybe they'll throw some quilt supplies in that padded cell.

I got three. 60% would be a D-. I guess I'd better start packing, too.

Me too. I did get one right though. hahaha

So, WHERE is the bonus question?

Why does the board double post? anybody know?

Amma!!!!! Glad to see you are back on!!!! 8-)

Man I;m a duh

Well at least I got the math one right.

LOVED this, thanks for sharing

missed the third question.(not thinking one hundred does not add up to a 1000 )

What a great time we could all have quilting together if they put us in the same facility!

I thought you would all get a kick out of my friend's answers!She used to do NAscar....

First Question:

You are a participant in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?



Depends on if you're unlapping yourself. However, in a footrace etc., you're 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...?

In first place and lapping the field.

Mary

I take exception to the second question.

Obviously the person who wrote it was not a NASCAR Fan. You can overtake the last person in a race and if you do you just lapped them and you are in FIRST place.

I got them all right but the math one. I haven't used the calculator, just don't see how that answer can be right!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Got them all but the math,guess you could say my vision wasn't good either for I did"t see the hundred but saw it as thousand.DAH. Getting older is not always fun but retirement sure is!

You're probably to young to have "All" of it...Alzeheimers.

ROFL :D

got em all WRONG!!!!

Get in line. Going to be very crowded. At least we'll all have something in common to talk about.

I guess I sorta have dementia - I got 3 wrong.

Yahoo!! I got them all correct sew I am still cookin' with all my burners...Yahoo!!! I have Alzheimer's Disease on both sides of my family, so anytime I get anything right or remember something it is a Happy Happy Day!!

Ug-I missed every one of them! I have always been dumb on these kinds of quizzes. Oh,well,I can stitch and sew and that's more fun,right?

I guess I have dementia!!! Should I call my
doctor? ha ha ha

I think not. They won't let you have anything sharp.

I'm right there with you. Can I bring my stash??

I missed them all soooooo does this mean grab my stash-a machine and stand in line for a room at Dementia House?

That confirms my though that I am losing it. I can't wait to try this on my friends.

Pugmom you little show off we will miss you at the home :D

Only got the last one right. And I never knew that I suffered from dementia!
