My thoughts exactly. These aren't riddles these are... descriptions. And the above question literally tests long term memory.

The above question will also need an update at some stage. There are 20+ year olds who have no memories of the 90s.

u/VibraniumQueen 5h ago

Lmao, I knew if I didnt specify, i would get unhinged comments.

That being said, I bought two ram sticks in 2020 for my pc, and for some god forsaken reason, my pc wont run if both are in at the same time. Tried each one by itself in different seating positions, and they're all fine. But the moment both are in there? Bsod.

u/G66GNeco 4h ago

Had that issue before and it turned out that something was specifically funky with whatever controls dual channel on one of the two sticks. Gotta test both against known good sticks to be sure it's not a minor issue with the new ones after all (there's also, like, 5 different bios options capable of causing this or similar issues but I feel like troubleshooting a 6 year old issue might be a bit of a fools errand)

That being said I, too, am 29 with no memory of the 90s. Though tbh I might have memories connected to 90s music specifically if I dig enough?

u/VibraniumQueen 3h ago

I mean, my fiance works in IT (and was the one trying to fix this issue before giving up) but this was just supposed to be a budget computer for me to play Lego Star wars, fortnite, and cyberpunk 2077 on. So like... it works?

Idk, I'll show him your comment and see what he says.

Ik he definitely tried different bios stuff.

There is a possibility they are trying to recognize Post-Op Delerium, though that seems more of a risk with seniors.

I had a high school SAP teacher adamantly believe that what you call the TV clicker in your everyday life is who you are as a person. Like a "what this says about you" survey from a gossip mag.

So that last question sounded like it was from him specifically.

It was something like: Converter = changing people personality, Remote = hermit personality, etc. I can't remember them all.

u/Final_Candidate_7603 6h ago

That probably goes all the way back to how the original remotes worked. There were four buttons- channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down. Each one triggered a tiny rubber hammer on a spring, which hit a metal rod. The rods were different lengths and widths, and each made a distinctively different sound. The TV picked up on that sound signal and performed the desired operation. The release of the spring did make a clicking noise.

This is bringing back a very old memory of when I was a kid and had a paper route. On Fridays after dinner time I would go to each customer’s house and collect the weekly subscription fee. IIRC, for all seven days, it was $1.35, so most people would give me $1.50 in change, the extra was a tip. I guess it was easy for people to set aside some pocket change every week, so I hardly ever got paper money. On Friday evenings I would sit in the living room in front of the TV, and dump my bag of change on the floor a little at a time and start counting and wrapping the coins. I noticed right away that the jangling of the coins as they fell would make the TV do something, and had a lot of fun tricking my siblings and parents into thinking I had some kind of magic TV-changing powers.

u/Chrispeefeart 7h ago

Clicker used to be common a very long time ago because the buttons audibly clicked when they when pressed.
Converter is a narrow regional term that got its name from when the controller was physically wired to the cable converter box.

u/redvsblueheeler 8h ago

I grew up saying clicker. My mom must say it. Is it a Midwest thing?

40

u/DrocketX 8h ago

The term clicker comes from the very first TV remote controls. They didn't use batteries - they instead used ultrasound tones. They had 4 buttons (channel up and down and volume up and down) and when you pressed one, it hit a metal bar inside that would vibrate, each at a different frequency. The TV would listen for this and take action based on the tone it heard. Because it was basically a mallet inside hitting the bar, it would emit a loud click with every button press (though you couldn't hear the tone itself because it was too high of a frequency for humans.)

Basically, the term clicker is a skeuomorph - one of those bits left over from old technology, like using a 3.5 inch floppy to represent saving in computer software.

u/DrocketX 8h ago

A cable signal into a TV signal, or at least the device it controlled did. The name comes from the Starcom Cable TV Converter, one of the earliest cable boxes and it came with what was for a lot of people their first TV remote control back in the 1970's. The controller itself wound up starting to be call a converter (even though that was really more the box), and the name kind of stuck for quite a few people.

u/TiresOnFire 6h ago

An early version of the TV remote clicked, no batteries required. It had 3 or 4 buttons. When you pressed one, a hammer would hit a metal rod that would ring at a certain pitch. The receiver on the TV would respond to that tone.

A lot of Canadian boomers (and up) definitely used to call them converters, though really the word referred to the cable box that sat on top of the giant wooden television (which converted the coaxial cable from the wall to the RF antenna connection on old TVs), which they called a "converter box," and which the "converter" controlled. Is that synecdoche?

Is this a bot ragebaiting? There are huge connections between the uterus and the brain. This a simple cognitive test. Do you still know what a radio, TV, headphones and remote are? If not, surgery caused a huge chemical release in your brain that may mess with recall and recollection.

89

u/havens1515 9h ago

Then why call them riddles? To see if you have the mental capacity to realize that these aren't riddles?

Seriously, just call it a mental capacity test at that point.

49

u/nalaloveslumpy 9h ago

Because it's easier for the patient to engage if it seems like a game. Also, people behave differently when they know they're being tested, and this helps solve for that.

If the nurse notices they're struggling to finish the "riddles" then that triggers a more thorough test.

48

u/Rooney_Tuesday 9h ago

Are there places (other than dementia care-specific units) where nurses hand out activity books to patients as a secret cognition test? Because that seems wildly inappropriate and I’ve never seen anything like it in my 20+ years of healthcare.

When you’re doing orientation tests, you just ask simple questions and see how the person answers. Nurses do not remotely have time to hand out, collect, and score paper tests like this.

If you actually were doing a dementia or cognitive test (and I’m not aware of anyplace that these are routinely done simply because you had a hysterectomy?), then knowing that you are taking a cognitive test is absolutely disclosed to you. There is no reason for it to be a secret. If you are cognitively impaired then it will be evident even if you know you’re being tested.

Reddit experts are at it again.

12

u/anonymouslyonlyme 6h ago

Also like this doesn't seem like a required assignment. So the people who are like "wow thanks for the paper where's my phone?" don't get tested. Either it's important so everyone's tested or it's not and no one is. Not this weird if someone decides to do it and then fails we will maybe know it if we happen to walk by and see it testing

10

u/Cloverose2 5h ago

Exactly. If I were doing a cognitive assessment, I would go in, introduce myself, briefly explain the assessment and be able to methodically collect the results. I absolutely wouldn't rely on hovering over someone to see if they do optional activities that most people wouldn't do aloud. Assessments aren't administered in secret "gotcha" format.

It’s not like this is getting turned in to be graded. And if it was, you can’t trick someone into doing cognitive testing. That’s unethical and goes against informed consent. Doctors are required to explain tests and why it’s being done.

Bottom line is this is definitely not for medical purposes.

I'd struggle with this just because I can feel my eyes roll into the back of my head if I were given such stupid shit to fill out as an adult for no reason (that I know of).

And I was over here listing all the devices that play music: iPod, smartphones, cd player, Walkman, radio... it took me a while to get to radio really and I was still leaning towards ipod because of the singular button wording.

You're obviously not sound of mind, first one is a Walkman not a radio and second one is The Kidnapper showing you the videos he recorded through your window after tying you up.

u/Status_Reflection993 10h ago

I do not understand how these are riddles? Any of them. Radio (stereo,  mp3 player etc.) Television, headphones, remote control (box, clicker, controller, whatever the fuck you call it)

u/Devanyani 9h ago

I'm old, so for the first one I thought "CD player" and chuckled to myself. Then I read the other "riddles".

Why are you infuriated by the riddles? Is it because you are stuck…

u/RedEclipse47 10h ago

As the other person suggested, it might be dementia.

Jokes aside, these aren't really riddles, they just describe every day objects.

u/pm_me_fibonaccis 10h ago

You're thinking too hard. They're not riddles. 

10

u/techo-soft-girl 10h ago

I think they’re very easy just not proper riddles. I can’t help but wonder if they’re AI generated.

Because they have the flow of a riddle and they’re describing things, but there’s no fun twist.

These are leaked questions from Celebrity Jeopardy.

u/Disposadwarf 1h ago

there are two things to keep in mind about the riddles.

first, this is a riddle for everyone. riddles usually rely on a cultural fact, linguistic pun, or thinking well outside the box. people have different backgrounds and a clever riddle for one person will fall flat for another.

two, this is a screening tool. any anesthetics carries risk and simple things like this can expose if you had a mini stroke or other anaesthetic complication. for that it needs to be simple.
