Exercise of the brain is important.
As we grow older...
past 30...
it is important that we keep mentally alert.
Use it or lose it
particularly applies to the brain.
So..here is a way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the following test and determine ! if you are "losing it"
or if you are still "with it."
Relax.
Clear your mind.
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 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"...
Go 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"...
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 that 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 We st 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"...
Go 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.
If you messed up,
Turn your pencil in and exit the room.
Everyone else proceed to the final question.
