Dementia Test - 6 questions<br /><br />Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow<br />older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; "If you<br />don't use it, you will lose it," also applies to the brain, so.....<br /><br />Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.<br />Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are still<br />"with it."<br /><br />OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.<br /><br />1. What do you put in a toaster?<br /><br />Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do<br />something else. Try not to hurt yourself.<br /><br />If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.<br /><br />2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?<br /><br />Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt the<br />next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat.<br />It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more<br />appropriate, such as Children's World."<br /><br />If you said "water," proceed to question 3<br /><br />3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made 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 />Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, "green bricks,"<br />what the devil are you still doing reading these questions?????<br /><br />If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.<br /><br />4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you<br />recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and<br />East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed.The<br />pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on<br />a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the third engine fails before he<br />has time to attempt an emergency landing, and the plane crashes smack in<br />the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany.<br /><br />Where would you bury the survivors? . . . in East Germany or West Germany<br />or in "no man's land"?<br /><br />Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else,<br />you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane<br />crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated<br /><br />If you said, "Don't bury the survivors," proceed to the next question.<br /><br />5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how many<br />degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?<br /><br />Answer: One degree. If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other than "one<br />degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are<br />obviously out of your league. Turn in your pencil, and exit the room.<br /><br />Everyone else proceed to the final question.<br /><br />6.
