> "Test for Dementia"<br />><br />><br />> <br />><br />> Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we<br />> grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert The saying; "If<br />you<br />> don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain, so... Below is<br />a<br />> very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.<br />><br />> So, take the following test presented here and determine if you are<br />losing<br />> it or are still "with it." The spaces below are so you don't see the<br />> answers until you have made your answer.<br />><br />><br />> OK, relax, clear your mind and... begin.<br />><br />> WELL MAYBE NOT THAT CLEAR!<br />><br />><br />> 1. What do you put in a toaster?<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do<br />> something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread," go to<br />> Question 2.<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> 2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not<br />> attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may<br />> even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading<br />> something more appropriate such as Children's World. If you said "water"<br />> then proceed to question 3.<br />><br />><br />><br />> 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is m ade from<br />> blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is<br />> made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green<br />> bricks," what the devil are you still doing here reading these<br />> questions?????<br />> If you said "glass," then! go on to Question 4.<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> 4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over<br />> Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically<br />> divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight,<br />> TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining<br />> engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure.<br />> Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane fatally<br />> crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and<br />West<br />> Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany or West<br />> Germany or in "no man's land"?<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors.<br />><br />> If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to<br />> rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated.<br />> If you said, "Don't bury the survivors", then proceed to the next<br />question.<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> 5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to<br />> Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In<br />Reading,<br />> six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people<br />> get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get<br />on.<br />> In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on In Carmathen, six<br />> people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What<br />was<br />> the name of the bus driver?<br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />> Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!<br />><br />> Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU!!<br />>
