Yep, it's that time of year again 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!
Here is a
very private way to gauge
how your memory compares to your last test.
Some may think it is too easy, but the
ones with memory problems may
have difficulty.
Take this test 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', just
give up now and go do something else. And, 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
already over-stressed and may even overheat.
Content yourself with reading more appropriate
literature such as
Women's Weekly or Auto
World. However, if you did say 'water', proceed
toQuestion #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 this??? PLEASE,
go lie down!!!
But, if you said 'glass,' go on to
Question
#4.
# 4. Do not use a calculator for this:
You are driving a
bus from New York City to
Philadelphia.
In Staten Island, 17 people
got on the bus.
In New Brunswick, 6 people get off the bus
and 9
people get on. In
Windsor, 2 people get off and 4 get on.
In Trenton,
11 people get off and 16
people get on.
In Bristol, 3 people get off
and 5 people get on.
And, in Camden, 6 people get off and 3 get
on.
You then arrive at Philadelphia Station.
Without going back to
review, how old is the
bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out
loud!!!
Don't you remember your own age?!?! It was
YOU
driving the bus!!!
If you pass this along to your friends,
pray
they do better than
you.Only because l have a good recall memory from
other all the other times I've passed this on. I
got some of them this
time.PS: 95% of people fail most of the
questions!!!
