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.
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. OK, relax, clear your
mind and . . . begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk". What do cows drink?
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?
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"?
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?
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?

Of course, everyone wants to know the real answers, don't they?
A1: Bread
A2: Water
A3: Glass (don't feel ashamed, I even took this question the wrong way....)
A4: You don't bury survivors (if you tried to, please don't go rushing off to any plane crashes. I'm pretty sure they don't want you there.)
A5: One degree. Did we fool you?
A6: You. Did you actually manage to READ the first line?
Your Scores:
0-1: Uh.... how old are you? 2?
2-3: Smarter than the average bear, but not by much. Remember: the average bear can't read...
4-5: Feel grateful you made it this far. Now you can feel better by having your friends miss the same questions you did.
6: Congratulations! You can actually pass the Third Grade!
Now that I have finished my rant: Just so y'all don't all feel stupid, my score was 4. So there! Now y'all have proof I really am blonde...
**No flaming or meanness intended.... just for laughs!
