Since my last post got no response besides Action Virus and Mishana, taking a slightly different approach here... below is a question for a old physfound exam, its worth three points:
A person walks into a hospital clinic and sits down without
saying a word. You are the examining doctor, so you ask him if there is something wrong. He says “Tan”. You ask if something hurts. He says “Tan”. You ask him his name. He says “Tan”. You say: “Please point with your finger to your nose”. He does this with no trouble. You say, “Please get up and walk around in the room for me”. He does this fine
and eventually sits down. You ask him: “What did you just do?” He says “Tan”. You suspect that perhaps a stroke has happened to this person’s brain. Where might the stroke be? Name the region of the brain and explain your reasoning.

No...that's not right.
I got caught up in the flow of the story, which was spellbinding.
