Exercise of the brain is as important as
exercise ofthe muscles. As we grow older, it's
important that we keep mentally alert. The
saying "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also
applies to the brain, so..Below is a very private
way to gauge your loss ornon-loss of
intelligence. So take the following test
presented here and determine if you are
losing it or are still "with it."The spaces below
are so you don't see the answers until you
have made your own... OK, relax, clear your
mind and.... begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
The answer is "bread." If you said "toast," then
give up now and go 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,"
please do not attempt the next question. Your
brain is obviously over stressed and may
even overheat. It may be that you need to
content yourself with reading something more
appropriate such as "Children's World." If you
said " water" then 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," what the devil are
you still doing here reading these questions?
If you said "glass," then go on to Question # 4.
4. Twenty years ago, 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 of the 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 has time and the plane
crashes smack in the middle of "no man's
land" between East and West Germany.
Where would you bury the survivors? East
Germany or West Germany or in 'no man's
land'?
Answer: You don't of course, bury survivors. If
you said ANYTHING else, you are a real
dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue
anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would
not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the
survivors, then proceed to the next question.
5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a
degree every minute, then how many degrees
will the hour hand move in one hour?
Answer: One degree. If you said "360
degrees" or anything other than one degree,
you are to be congratulated on getting this far,
but you are obviously out of your league. Turn
your computer off and exit whatever room
you're in..
Everyone else proceed to the final question.
6. 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 Swansee, three people get off and five
peopleget 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, you
dummy.... the very first line says that you're
driving the bus.
