    What does he mean “It gets harder”? And no I’m not making a joke about sex.

    How hard can it be for an adult (without dementia) to identify an fricken animal?

      It’s not hard, here it is for anyone curious

      There are some slightly different versions, though I’m not aware of any with a whale on it.

      And it’s a screening test for dementia, not some kind of iq test. Raging narcissist took this and decided he’s the smartest person ever though.

      Hardest question on there is the date imo.

        English doctors used to ask who is the current Prime Minister, which obviously didn’t work so well when the last-but-one Conservative PM lasted just a few weeks before getting replaced again

          You’d be surprised, it’s really not that bad. And even if you’ve only remembered one but got everything else it’s still a pass
