Test for Dementia....Do you dare take it? lol

#1 Postby southerngale » Tue Mar 30, 2004 11:21 pm

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 way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it."

Answer the question as soon as you read it. If you wait and think about it for a few seconds or go back and read the question again, you're cheating. Read it once then answer the question. NO CHEATING!

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

----------------


1. What do you put in a toaster?

Image





























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?

Image



































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," 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?

Image
































Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, "green bricks," what the devil are you still doing reading these questions?????

If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Image

4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed.The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing,
decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt an emergency landing, 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?
. .. . in 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," proceed to the next question.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Image

5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute 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 in your pencil, and exit the room.

Everyone else proceed to the final question.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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? It was YOU!!

Now pass this along to all your "friends" and hope they do better then you did!

I've seen this before (here, I think) and I debated #5. If the hour hand only moves one degree in one hour, that would mean it would take 360 hours to move 360 degrees (a full clock rotation). So a day would be 720 hours long.

If it's 360 degrees around a clock, that means every minute is 6 degrees. So when an hour hand goes from 12 at 12:00 to 1 at 1:00, it passes by five minute marks for a total of 30 degrees. That makes sense since 12 to 6 would be 180 degrees and 12 to 3 would be 90 degrees.

And in the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, I'm linked to KB by 2 degrees. :)
