Joe Biden agrees. It IS easy.

When the answer is always 42.

Well let’s put both Biden and Trump in a room and make them take the MMPA.

They have added a little mental/memory testing bit to the “Free” annual checkup for Seniors. This well checkup appears to be only to create stats. More and more seniors are opting out...including myself.

A better test will be getting both on the debate stage

My now departed mother feared the ravages of Alzheimer’s and her little strokes.

When I visited, my conversations consisted of recitations of lists. She was testing her memory by reciting the list of the kids in order of a well known family of ten children. She would recite marriages of people in my high school class. She would recite detailed vacation events of 40 years ago and on and on.

Her memory was good but perhaps specific synapses were restored to produce the recall. Memory is not actually lost, but rather the path to old and unused memory gets a low priority.

Since there was no time stress, she had no Biden like gaffes or mis recitations.

I’m missing why people keep talking about this test. Did Trump fail this easy test?

The term easy imo is subjective. What is easy for a 20 yr old may be much more difficult for a senior in his 70’s.

The answer is to have both men tested using the same testing criteria so we can compare apples to apples. I seriously doubt Biden will do this and frankly we already know from seeing him speak that he has issues.

Just remember—well, we might want to write it down—the picture of the camel is actually a Dromedary. THAT will impress the shrink giving the test.

You won’t get extra points, but it makes up for counting back by 7. (Just kidding. We should all practice the counting thing.)

Do you think they are going to “sneak up on you” and toss you into elder housing?

For God’s sake, they are trying to establish a baseline.

Sometimes you guys see conspiracies where there are none.

The last five questions are not easy. Wallace didn’t know the right answers.

I would imagine by just declining to take the test. I doubt it is a mandatory test.

I'm 76. I simply opt out of the annual well check.

They measure and weigh you, look in your eyes and ears, whack your knee and take your BP.

I check my BP at Wegmans, weigh myself, go for my annual eye checkup with my real eye doctor, have good daily functions with normal old age aches and pains. Basically, I feel damn good but I have good genes. Female 5'3" 115 lbs BP 115/62.

“Joe Biden agrees. It IS easy.”

That’s why I had to take it over and over again.

It has problems like, “Draw a clock that shows the time is ten minutes before 11.”

It’s very easy for folks with a normally functioning minds.

It can be a stumper for those with dementia.

I think President Trump said that he aced the test, so the media has to respond that it’s an easy test that people are supposed to ace. So let’s see Biden’s results.
