From my friend Ellen, who is NOT demented.
I scored 50% (two out of four correct) so I suppose I'm halfway there …
Yep, it's that time of year again for us to take our Annual Dementia 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'll 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 ones with memory problems may have difficulty –
that's if you can remember
Take this test to determine if you're losing it or not. Maybe, have lost it totally already!
Spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've determined your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind, and now 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 please, try not to hurt yourself!
# 2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water.
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?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.
If you said 'green bricks,' why are you still reading this??? PLEASE, go lie down – have a glass a wine and enjoy the rest of the day!!!
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 that they do better than you.
P.S.: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!!
