Take this 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 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 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 s! aid "glass," then go on to Question 4.


4. Twenty ye ars 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 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 pro! ceed 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 g! et on. You
then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the n ame of the bus driver?





























Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!!


Now pass this along to your "friends" and hope they do better then
you did!
