It's that time of year to take our annual 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.

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 made from blue bricks
and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks,"
what 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.
