Humorous test

| | Comments (0)

A co-worker sent me this.



It's that time of year to take our annual mental acuity 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?









2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?







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?







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"?











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 ?









How did you score?



0: Al Sharpton, Jerry Falwell



1: Nancy Pelosi, Dennis Hastert



2: Barbara Boxer, Pat Robertson



3: Marginally functional, but don't drive in freeway or rush hour traffic



4: Probationary adult. Don't let it go to your head.



5. Congratulations, you're good to go for another year.



Now pass this along to all your friends and pray they do better than you.





PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!
