Test for Dementia

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. 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 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!!

1. What do you put in a toaster?

A metal knife to get the burned toast out?

2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?

Mad cow disease vaccine, if they're smart.

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?

White bricks covered in ivy

East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?

Just how does a plane "fatally crash?"

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?

That's a slow clock. If the clock works correctly and it's 12:00, then the hour hand is on the 12. In an hour, the hour hand should be on the 1. If 12 to 3 is 90º (given the full clock is 360º), then 12 to 1 should be 30º. Am I missing something there?

It WAS Niles; it's now Shawn. We changed shifts in London.

I have dementia. Now I have set myself free.

[JCT777]

I got all the questions right. I guess I have no excuse now for acting demented.

[streetsoldier]

All 100% correct. But, as you all have come to expect from me...

If unique is what you seek,
And bizarre is where you are, WELCOME!
