Thread: Test for Dementia

"Test for Dementia"


"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 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 answer.

OK, relax, clear your mind and ... begin.

WELL, MAYBE NOT THAT CLEAR!


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 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 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 f! ail.&nbs p; 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. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford

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 "smart friends" and hope they do

better than you did.


PS: 95% of people fail in most of the questions!!

Got this in my e-mail and thought it was cute.

hehe thanks for sharing.

Patchouli, the cow one gets me too and I freaking know the answer LOL.

Wow....I'm so proud that I actually got all of these right! That's crazy. I've taken something similar to this before and SUCKED at it but this time I thought more logically I guess. Cool...thanks!

Well, I screwed up on the cow one too, but reasoned it away with baby cows drink milk. Duh!!

I need to call the nursing home...I fell for most of those.
