YEARLY DEMENTIA TEST!!!

Yes, it's that time of year again to take our yearly senior citizen test!  Excercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles!  As we grow older it's important to keep mentally alert.  If you don't use it, you lose it!!

Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.  Take the test presented here to determine if your losing it or not.  The spaces provided are so you don't see the answers until you've made your own. 

Ok.  Relax. Take a deep breath. Clear your mind.  Begin.

1.  What do you put in a toaster?

>>>Answer: "BREAD"  If you said "toast", give up now and go do something else!  If you said "bread" go on to # 2.

2.  Say "SILK".  Now, spell "SILK".  Okay, now......What do cows drink?

>>>>Answer: "WATER".  Now, if you said "milk" don't even attempt the next question!  You're brain is overstressed and may even overheat!  Content yourself in reading more appropriate literature such as......... AUTO WORLD!   However, if you said "water", proceed to question #3.

3.  If a red house is made of red bricks, and a blue house is made of blue bricks, and a pink house is made of pink bricks, and a black house is made of black bricks ..... what is a green house made of?

>>>>Answer:"GLASS".  If you said "green bricks", why are you even still reading these?  If you said "glass" go on to # 4.

4.  It's twenty years ago and a plane is flying over Germany. (If you recall, Germany, at the time, was politically divided between West Germany and East Germany.)  Anyway, during the flight two engines fail.  The pilot, realizing that the last engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure.  Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so, and the plane fatally crashes smack dab in the middle of "no man's land" between West Germany and East Germany.

The question?  Where would you bury the survivors?  East Germany, West Germany, or "no man's land"?

>>>Answer: YOU DON'T BURY SURVIVORS!!!!  If you said ANYTHING else......you're a dunce and you MUST stop now!  If you, however, got the answer correct, continue to the next question.

5.  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 on and three people get off.  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!!  It says, "You are driving"!!

Okay...just so you know..... 95% of people fail most of these questions.

Unfortunately, I am in that percentile!!    Hope you did better than me!!!
