How smart are you?
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 on.
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 "friends" and
hope they do better!
