A memory test is being administered to three elderly men at the doctor.
“What is three times three?” the doctor asks the first man.
“274,” he responded. “It’s your turn,” the doctor tells the second man. Three times three is what?
The second man responds, “Tuesday.”
“All right, it’s your turn,” the doctor tells the third man.
Three times three is what? “Nine,” the third man replies.
“That’s fantastic!” exclaims the physician. “What did you get?”
“Simple,” the third man replies.
“I took 274 away from Tuesday.”
