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 the hell 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 into West 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.




5. 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 your own name? It was YOU!!





How did you do?

yeah im doomed

my poor kid

good one

I did GOOD!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! I'm not THERE yet

The only reason I passed at all was because I've had this test before and remembered a bit of it!!!

i think im not to bad #3 was a trick question you asked what a green house(two words) was made out of not a greenhouse(one word)so i think we all might have gotten that rite. but I still got the others wrong exept the suvivors ques got that one wright just because i remember anoying people with that joke when I was a kid

It will be okay. They think we're smart for a long time.

Completely failed.

Hey, that's cheating.

You used that one when you were a kid?

I'm totally wiped out and stressed out from a horrific day at work, plus other things (like...life...).......but I got all the answers right - so I guess there's still hope.......

There, there, it will be okay.

I use my toaster for bagles...

Funny guy.

I love these tests! The sad part is, I've taken this test at least three times before and I still fell for the first three. I gave up after that. My brain is fried... those pesky early adult years. I shudder to think what I won't be able to figure out in another ten years.

Wait...where am I again?

There's always hope.

You got them all right? Cool.

I've seen your posts. You're no dummy.

It's not age. It's late at night.

Aww, thanks!

I still think it's my age. I used to be so smart! OK I was never smart, but I'm so good at pretending!!!
