3 old men are at a doctor's office for a memory test.

The doctor asks the first man, 'What is 3 times 3?'. Came the reply, '274'.

When the doctor asks the second man, he replies, 'Tuesday'.

The doctor shakes his head sadly and asks the third man. '9', he replies. 'That's great!', says the doctor. 'How did you arrive at that?' 'Simple', he says. 'Just subtract 274 from Tuesday'.

testing cognitive ability... the first two old men give obvioulsy illogical and wierd answers.. perplexing the doctor... while the third guy gives the right answer.. which excited the doctor and he asked him to expalain how he arrived at the solution... now there is the catch... the third guy gives an equally oe maybe even more absurd solution ..and it was just a matter of pure luck that the answer was right...!!!!!!!

shocked
