Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the 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 or non-loss of
intelligence.
Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are
still "with it."
OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
scroll down
Answer: "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:
scroll down
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," 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 green house made
from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, "green
bricks," what the devil are you still doing reading these
questions??
If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.
4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over
Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided
into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO
of the engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last
remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing
procedure..... Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has
time to attempt an emergency landing, and the plane crashes smack in
the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany.
Where would you bury the survivors?
. in 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," proceed to the next question.
5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute
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 in your pencil, and
exit the room.
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 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? It was YOU!
