"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 m ade 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 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. 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 your own name? It was YOU!!







Now pass this along to all your "smart friends" and hope they do
better than you did.

That quiz took away five minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

...but it was funny, though! :-)

Doh!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) Failed miserably! :-) :-) :-) :-)

Wow! I feel ultimatly stupid!

Some classic jokes and mind tricks...I remember them from decades ago....but, as the son of an Alzhiemer victim (my mom) I take offense to the title of the thread. My mother can't remember she asked about the kids five minutes ago but she could get three out of four of thesecorrect even on a bad day. It's a horrible thing to see a parent go through and It's not something I take lightly. I know you mean nothing by it, but if you could re-edit the title of the thread it would be nice.

Thanks bro,

First 3 got me, but the last 2 i have heard before. Thanks for the laugh buddy!

darn... the toast was the begining of the end for me

Frank

Hey I got 3 right.

Not 3 of the questions. Just #3.

Topic title changed.

Shaun

Got them all right but that still won't keep me from getting canned if I don't get my sales up. Anybody want to buy a printer?

This is a standard "quiz" for training salespeople. It's teaches them to really listen to what is being asked.

One of the best quizzes I ever had in the military was a list of twenty fairly lengthy questions. At the top of the page it read, "Read every question carefully before beginning this exercise."
The last question read, "Place your last name and last four at the top of the page and await further instructions."
I gave a similar one to my students once. They were not amused.

To question 2 ..... and I'm just started with my life... O well if this is happens now, what will become later from me??
