This Is A Test

Subject: Testing

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 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 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

alsofailing, 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!!

HOW DID YOU DO?
