Would you mind telling me, Doctor," Bob asked, "how do you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"
"Nothing is easier, " he replied. "You ask him a simple question that everyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track."
"What sort of question?"
"Well, you might ask him, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'"
Bob thought for a minute and then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example, would you? I don't know much about history."
