SilvrT Posted January 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2013 YOUR Yearly Dementia Test-- only 4 questions It's that time of year for us 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? (scroll down) 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? (scroll down) 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 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 ? (scroll down) 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. 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, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on. In Swindon, 2 people get off and 4 get on. In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea , 3 people get off and 5people get on. In Carmathen, 6 people get off and 3 get on.You then arrive at Milford Haven... Without scrolling back to review, how old is the bus driver? (scroll down) Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember your own age... It was YOU driving the bus! PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus1300 Posted January 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks SilvrT. I'm safe for another year. I only missed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezyRider Posted January 16, 2013 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2013 I got them all right......HOWEVER, I'd like to pick a bit on #3. The question said "green house" not "greenhouse". The actual correct answer the way it is spelled is "green bricks". Knowing that they were trying to get us to answer in colors of bricks, I figured that they were going to say "glass". So, in my way of thinking, anyone who answers "green bricks" is correct. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAWildKat Posted January 16, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2013 Actually, my grandmother, rest her soul, had a greenhouse in the backyard (it became my playhouse later) And it was made from red square tile type bricks, it had some kind of corrugated fibrous, opaque plastic type roof thing that allowed sunlight in and stayed quite warm in the winter. So to me greenhouses can be made of anything as long as they allow light in...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted January 17, 2013 Share #5 Posted January 17, 2013 Well, for question 1 I answered "Electricity." On question 2 I was a little more specific and said "Dirty water." Question 3 to be perfectly honest I see more greenhouses made using plastic than glass so I answered both. For question 4 although I am 65 I would never drive a bus in London...:banana::banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted January 17, 2013 A man and his son are in a bad car wreck. The dad dies on the scene the son is rushed to the nearest hospital. In the ER it is determined that the boy needs life saving surgery. They rush him to the OR and prep him, the surgeon walks in and looks down and says "I can't operate on him....he is my son" Who is the surgeon?
