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.
Below is a very private way to gage your loss or non-loss
of intelligence. So take the following test presented here
and determine if you are losing it or are still a MENSA
candidate. 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
overstressed 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 three.
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 heck are you still doing here reading
these questions? If you said "glass", then go
on to question four.
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 next question.
5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th 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. 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 heaven sake! It was YOU, Read the first
line!!!
