Test for Dementia

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. 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?











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: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not
attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously overstressed 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 green house 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. 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 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 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 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 pencil in 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 in. 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!!






Now pass this along to all your "smart friends" and hope they do
better than you did.

LOL I need some more fish oils for my brain! Or maybe it is too late for me to take this test tonight.

[MTAussie]

[Castlemaid]

Oh, these are goooood!!! I got sucked in with the milk question!

Some of the other brain teasers I have seen before, so I was ready for them, but not sure how I would have done otherwise!

By the end of the test I was just ticked off - not sure at myself, the test, or the OP ...

C'mon Jason, where's your sense of humor? It's supposed to be silly/funny with trick questions. Don't take life too seriously and look at the fun side!
