Test for Dementia

"Test for Dementia"
"It's that time of year 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 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 "with it." The spaces below are so you
don't see the answers until you have made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and... begin.
WELL MAYBE NOT THAT CLEAR!
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" then proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is m ade
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 here reading these
questions?????
If you said "glass," then! go on to Question 4.
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 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 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 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", then proceed
to the next question.
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?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU!!
I ain't telling how I did. It gave me a headache.

From Merriam-Webster OnLine (on entering 'green house'):
Quote:Spelling Help
The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the search box to the right.
Suggestions for green house:
1. greenhouse
2. greenhouses
3. ...... |
|
"what is a green house made from?" of course green bricks! Here 'green' is an adjective, specifying the color of the house, as red, blue, pink black before.
If the author of the quiz suddenly changes the spelling to greenhouse (in one word), in a feeble attempt to make the other side look dumb, he only proves he himself has no longer his shit together.
Bite me!

I got them all right except the last one. 
Only because I knew they were trick questions. I'm old and probably demented, too.
