Gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence
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?
The answer is "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 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
also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately
the engine fails before he has time and the plane 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 Question 5.
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.
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, you
dummy.
Now pass this along to all your "friends" and hope they do
better than you...
Cows drink milk before they ever drink water, damn it. Otherwise there wouldn't be any milk.
I thought calves drank milk.
No, calves make your feet move. Some people, I swear to God. It's a wonder they even make it out of bed in the morning.
I choose the afternoon. Morning makes my brain foggy.
So you posted this from your bed?
If we get all six right, is we a genius? LOL c.i.
Almost all my good times are spent in bed.
ci I've never thought of you as anything but a genius. Whenever I give a test I automatically give you a pass grade without even checking your work.
Your generosity overwhelms me!
c.i.
What did the cow say when it drank a glass of milk?
--It's all coming back to me now.
I suppose a cow COULD drink milk. And my request to have my name legally changed might have become effective on my way between London and Milford Haven. And I could have buried the survivors anyway, despite their struggling and protests.
Excellent post. On question 6, I thought you were going to ask how many people were on the bus, which would have been one more (me, the driver) than the passenger count.
No of course I wouldn't do that (smirk). No question about it. It's designed to make you think it's another answer. Naturally I didn't fall for a single one. You'll have to trust me on that. I never lie except when I don't tell the truth.
On q #6, I knew the question wasn't about "how many people." I originally thought it was "how many stops?"
c.i.
ci -- No! No! That would be cruel and cruelty just can't coexist in my nearly perfect temperament.
bob, You exposed your cruelty as soon as you posted this 'test.' LOL c.i.
Bob, thank you for tickling my fancy (you know how I just love that :wink: ) with that hilarious test, however, in order to improve my score, I do agree with Equus: the survivors must be buried.
You've got such a sweet fancy I couldn't resist tickling it. OK survivors can be buried with ot without their cooperation.
The answer to number 5 only makes sense if the clock is broken.
The hour hand on a clock moves a complete revolution (360 degrees) in twelve hours, or 360/12 = 30 degrees per hour.
You gotta love a woman who can blush. Hugs and kisses.
:wink:
