Has this been done before? So many tests go on here I'm never sure. Well, I'll proceed until somebody cries "repeat!" [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

ahem,

Test for Dementia

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. Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it." OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.


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," 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?

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, "green bricks," what the devil are you still doing reading these questions????? If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.


4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure..... Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt an emergency landing, 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? . . . in 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," proceed to the next question.


5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?

Answer: 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 in your pencil, 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?

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!!

:D

Heard most of them before so it wasn´t really a challenge

...(dang it, I knew that was a trick question) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL

Good test and very funny. The only problem is that the answer to number 5 is not ONE degree but THIRTY degrees (unless your watch isn't working properly). The hour hand (that's the little one for those of you who failed question 1 ... hehehe) sweeps a full circle - 360 degrees - in 12 hours, or 30 degrees in one hour. For those of you with wall clocks with all 24 hours shown on them, the correct answer is 15 degrees. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now I can go back on my medication. LOL

Oh crap! Does that mean I'm demented? And if so, am I still good in society being demented? Or do I need to be placed in some facility with other like minded demented people? Oh wait, I'm already there. :D [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I got most of them right, just messed up on the milk thingy ;) knew it was water but I said milk [img]redface.gif[/img]

I'm demented, but I knew that anyway. I blame it all on everyone else. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rotflmao .... Yes to all of the above. Want some meds????? fdl

Hell yeah! Whaddaya got? Anything but pink pills. I can't take any pink pills because pink makes me think of Elephants, and Elephants make me think of Earthquakes, and Earthquakes make me think of cracks, and Cracks make me think of Crack, and that's just Whack!, so then I start to freak out. Just sayin. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I can give you blue pills, or maybe white ;)

How about a nice healthy dose of Thorazine!? It will make all those nasty dreams go away. lol

Zo tell Dr Ziggy ven dis obsession mit der Elefant first began ... ver you troubled as eine Kinder or ist du just verrucht? fdl take two cookies and call me in the morning.

Cows DO drink milk. All mammals drink milk. That's why they are mammals.

Also, 'Green Bricks' would be a perfectly valid answer for question 3 given the prepositions of the question. Around here, 'green houses' are more commonly referred to as 'hot houses' anyway.

I've seen this test before so I already knew the answers, but given the poorly-written nature of some of the questions it irks me that the writers have chosen to rag on people for drawing perfectly valid conclusions. I realise this test is trying to be funny, but the writer's 'assholic' sense of humour doesn't really appeal to my taste [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

Well I'm off, taking Micah's two cookies with me. :D

LOLOL! I lost at the cow questions... bwahahahahaha... *drools and goes looking for green bricks* [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

I've done some of these questions before... when I did Question number 2 for the first time, I answered the question with milk http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon20.gif

I'm not demented? Oh, dang, this test cant be right! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Awww crap... they're going to have to let out of the loony bin now. Oh well. Where's my little white jacket with the long sleeves? It's cold outside!

you clearly didnt read the question

the assumption is that the clock is not a normal clock, and that the hand only moves 1/60 of a degree a minute. therefore in an hour 1/60 * 60 = 1 degree. it was a trick question, like the others. :-/

LOL, pretty good. Like Cloudy, I missed the milk/water one.

almost everyone did [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

And to think these are college based questions too [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I got to number 3 till I failed :D

I'm different, saw through it and did not go wrong with the silk/milk LOL, although it was close LOL! It was No. 3 that got me, damn green brick, blah you led me there bastaids LOL.

Got them all right, but thats because I have heard most of them before.

On a side note: Baby cows drink milk.

you clearly didnt read the question

Or maybe clocks in the land of dementia really do work differently? In either case, you fail Zero Alpha. Take some meds and relax. [img]smile.gif[/img]

:rolleyes: sure, so because i tell you why the stupid question means you're wrong, I fail the thread. see it was this logic that failed you the dementia test in the first place [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

In case anyone hasn't yet shouted repeat (can't be bothered to read page 1 [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) then: REPEAT! :D I first had this test done on me about 12 years ago in school then about 5 years ago on some board, then on here about 1.5 years ago. Well done for remembering it after all this time LadyZ [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Isn't there a rule where you can repeat a topic if it's a year old? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, but it only applies to people with no imagination and bad memories [img]tongue.gif[/img]

What is that annoying mosquito buzzing sound?

:D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I guess it must be the local mosquitoes being smarter than you and telling you that Vaskez is correct :D

You think mosquitos are talking to me? Aaaaaah yessss, welcome to the Dimentia thread finally Vazkez, come on in, make yourself at home, one of us. :D Want any tapioca? They got gallons of it here for some reason.

Yes, but it only applies to people with no imagination and bad memories [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Ahhh... so how many times have you repeated threads Vaskez? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, but it only applies to people with no imagination and bad memories [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Ahhh... so how many times have you repeated threads Vaskez? [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]And what did you say your post count was at? :D

Animal, your mind must giving out on you my friend. There is a difference between spamming and repeating threads [img]tongue.gif[/img]
