    Our Yearly Dementia Test
    (Uhhhh,did I take it last year?)



    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?

    [​IMG]




    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?

    [​IMG]



    Answer : Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question.

    Your brain is overstressed 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?

    [​IMG]




    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 5 people 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?

    [​IMG]



    Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember your own age? It was YOU driving the bus!! (Go back and look!).


    If you pass this along to your friends, pray they do better than you.


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

    OK . . . Or just go have another glass of wine . . . Nothing will matter in a few hours . . . And you will definitely NOT be driving the bus!!

    Cows do drink milk. At least when they're youngsters.

    I got them all correct - but #4 was a rotten trick as I was using fingers and toes to keep track of all the people on the bus (and yes, I counted me, the driver). I've seen the cow one before, so was prepared. Never saw the brick one, so thought about it for a second before I went with plastic (I counted that as correct becasue most greenhouses I have owned or seen are plastic).

    1. spell r-o-a-s-t 5 times, then ask
    2. calves drink milk, but you may not get as many if the first question is asked with the same predicator.
    3. the correct answer for green house would be green bricks, the correct answer for greenhouse would be glass or plastic.
    4. Most people would consider the you are as a figurative you are and would have to scroll back to catch the literalness of the set up.
