YEARLY DEMENTIA TEST...please take if you are over 40 and good luck

Our Yearly Dementia Test 

 

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 how your memory  compares to the last  test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory  problems may have difficulty.  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 overGermany (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.
