Thread: Test for Dementia

Let's see if you youngsters can do any better than this oldie?





Oh I got them all right BTW.



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." Answer very quickly...





The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you have
made your answer.


OK, relax, clear your mind and... begin.



WELL MAYBE NOT THAT CLEAR!


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 green house 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. It's twenty years ago, and 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 proceed
to the next question.




5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from

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!

better than you did.
