"Brain Test (use it or lose it)"
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?
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
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, you dummy. My twelve-year old got it! [:-)]
Now pass this along to all your friends (or enemies) and
hope they do better then you....
