Brain Exercise

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. So take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still a MENSA candidate.1. What do you put in a toaster? The answer is 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? Cows drink water. If you said "milk", please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is
obviously overstressed 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" then
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
greenhouse made from? Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks", what the heck are you still doing
here reading these questions????? Dang.... If you said "glass", then go on to question 4.4. Twenty years ago, 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 of the 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 has time 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 - East Germany or West Germany or in
"no man's land"?
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" then proceed to the next question.5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every minute then how many degrees
will the hour hand move in one hour? 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 your pencil in 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? Oh, for heaven sake! It was YOU. Read the first line!!!
