Your Yearly Dementia Test

[RonMcGr]

It's that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we
grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.
The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.

1. What do you put in a toaster?


















Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," give up now and 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," don't attempt the next question. Your brain
is over-stressed and may even overheat.
Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World.
However, if you said "water", proceed to question 3.






















3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue brick s 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," why the hell are you still reading
these???
If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.




























4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Ger many (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the flight, two 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 can
do so 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 , West Germany , or no man's land"?



































Answer: You don't bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce
and you must stop. If you said, "You don't
bury survivors", proceed to the next question.














































5. 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 on . 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 your own name? It was YOU!! Now pass this along to all your friends
and pray they do better than you.

PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!

I did a 6-week course once where before the weekly tests, we went through the questions - then we did the test. At the end of the test, our papers were checked and we went through the questions we got wrong (and people got questions wrong!).

One bloke failed every test and had to do the same test again - every week. That is, until the final test that would qualify us. He failed the test three times and had to be coached through before being passed to go forth and do the job. Oh, he was 30 years younger than me so he should have been sharper.

To really make my day, after working in a much less demanding location with simpler work, he got promoted into another job for which I had also applied!

We used to have a problem when I was in the public service, where some managers would write glowing reports on incompetent dudes, just to get them promoted out!

Unfortunately, that is far too common.
