It's that time of year to take our annual senior citizen
test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As
we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you
lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of
intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it
or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your
answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
1. What do you
put in a toaster?
Answer:
"bread." If you said "toast," give up now and do something else.
Try not to
hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2.
2. Say "silk" five times. Now
spell "silk." What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you
said "milk," don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and
may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature
such as Auto World. However, if you said "water", proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue
house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a
black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made
from glass. If you said "green bricks," why are you still reading these???
If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.
4. It's
twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will
recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East
Germany ) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that
the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure.
Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes
smack in the middle of "no man's land " between East Germany and West Germany .
Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany , West Germany , or no man's
land"?
Answer: You don't bury
survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If
you said, "You don't bury survivors", proceed to the next question.
5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from
London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London , 17 people get on the bus. In
Reading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on.
In
Swindon, two people
get off and four get on. In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In
Swansea , three people get off and five people get on.
In
Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford
Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out
loud!
Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU!!
Now pass this along to all your friends and pray
they do better than you.
PS: 95% of
people fail most of the questions!!
