Dementia Test

[MY07GT]

Test for Dementia"

"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 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," why
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
Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided
intoWest 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.

Three older men are undergoing a memory test at the
doctor's office.

The Doctor asks "What is three times three?"

The first man answers "274."

The second man answers "Tuesday."

The third man answers "Nine."

The doctor pleasantly surprised at the third man's
correct response, inquires "Great! How did you get that
answer?"

"Simple. Just subtract 274 from Tuesday."
