Question:
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As
we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it," also applies to the brain, so.....
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it."
OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go 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," please do not
attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate, such as Children's World.
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," what the devil are you still doing reading these questions?????
If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.
4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decide on a crash landing procedure..... Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt an emergency landing, and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? . . . in East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated
If you said, "Don't bury the survivors," proceed to the next
question.
5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
Answer: One degree. If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other than "one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn in your pencil, and exit the room.
Everyone else proceed to the final question.
6. 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? It was YOU!!
So are ya losing it?? I got them all but i've heard most of them before so it doesn't really count.
"So are ya losing it?? I got them all but i've heard most of them before so it doesn't really count."
Me too......................I knew better but I still amost said "Milk" after silk silk silk

1 Attachment(s) Ha ha, I had read them all before and only got the toast one right...That's bad...Here is a test...See if you can see a word in this picture...
I think i can see the word, but i wont give it away.
Janelle,
Are you sure you can see the word? You may be what that word describes. Be very careful.........lol
Paul
you are another one to always get the darndest "things" see Lottie bay 'hmmmmm' thread.
anyway i saw the word before the picture....what does that mean? that i'm backwards:D
ps janelle....i got maybe 2 right...i'm off to the "time out" corner
I have to admit that the left brain came up with the wrong answer while the right brain was telling it to chillout, the obvious answer isn't right! I have never been able to do much about that darned left half.
Paul
I saw them before, but still got too many wrong. How scary!:p All hope lost for me?
:rolleyes:
Let's try an exercise in brain control:
This is kinda stupid but true... and it's going to drive you crazy!
While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it! (or can you? tell me the secret? *g*)
:p
the hand will only go in the direction of the foot....
I tried counter clockwise and it worked:D
gees...that's a tough one (unless you draw the 6 starting at the bottom and finishing at the top).
I will try this with my athletes today, see if any of them are coordinated enough to do it.
See who can get this first...
Here is a quotation with all the spaces and vowels removed. What is the quotation?
MNCNNTBTCRFLNTHCHCFHSNMS
OH BOY!!! IM GOOD!!!
the foot/hand one??? becuz of the way i write (dont ask- its very odd!!) i start my sixes at the end... where most of u finish them!!! so it worked for me!! lol

If you could only see all of the freaks in my office with their legs going in circles and their hands doing the #6 in the air. If anyone came in here right now, we would all have new offices, with rubber wallpaper!
Too funny Steve, I can just picture it!!!
Waiting for some more brain exercises miss college girl! :) (thx J)
I'll see what I can do Coach!!

Spent too much time on this...lol

Hey guys, this is really cool...give it time to load...you are in a room and have to figure out how to get out...I DID IT!!!!! Look everywhere for the clues...

It got me stumpted too. I cant make it through the pipe maze I keep getting washed out of it. I have tired all 6 of the openings but I also get washed back out. I think I have tried every which way to go in that maze but I keep getting washed back to the begining. if you know how to get past that part I would like to know.
