Senile Dementia Test March 8, 2014

Exercising the brain is as important as exercising the muscles. As we grow older, it’s important to keep mentally alert. If we don’t use it, we lose it!
Here’s a way to gauge your mental acuity and determine if you’re losing it or not.
Some may think this test is too easy, but those with cognitive deficits may have difficulty.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
Questions:
1. What do you put in a toaster?
2. Say “silk five times. Now spell “silk.” Quick! 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 green house made from?
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?
Answers:
1. Bread.
2. Cows drink water.
3. Greenhouses are made from glass.
4. Why are you looking here? YOU were the driver!
Scoring:
One right ~ Why are you still reading this??? Content yourself with age appropriate literature, like the TV Guide.
Two right ~ Your brain is over-stressed and may overheat. PLEASE, go lie down!
Three right ~ Take a break and do something else. Try not to hurt yourself.
Four right ~ Congratulations! You’re still driving the bus!
Aah . . . that’s better!
So, how did you do?

Have a Super Saturday . . . infused with LAUGHTER!
Lol Nancy. I diligently did my sums and then you came with that. You can be glad there wasn’t a “don’t like” button. Quite pleased with myself. Did well, and then you came with your dam bus 🙂
I did the same: They tricked us! 😛
You’re a sneaky person, lol. 😝
Yes! The author of this test is a real Sneaky Pete!
I got the first three and my answer to no 4 was: Worn out!
I did what Don did . . . adding, subtracting, and laughing. Moral of the story: Wait for the question before figuring the figures.
I got #2 wrong. Of course I said milk.. 😀
Got the adding and subtracting right on the bus.. 🙄
Fun this morning!
I’m going to give you partial credit for #2 ~ since CALVES are baby cows and they drink M~I~L~K!
CH goofed on the glass house! Yeah! Sure! That’s what I was thinkin’.. baby cows drink milk.. 😀
Let him see William’s comment and he’ll feel better about being fooled. 😉
Whooo hooo!!! I got them all right! 🙂
Go you! You young whipper snapper! 😀
“Green House” is two words, meaning “A house that is green”. “Greenhouse” is one word, meaning an indoor garden or farm, inside a structure constructed with glass walls.
Either you, or whoever came up with this questionnaire, have fooled yourselves about this point.
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Boo
Boo Who?
Don’t cry . . . it’s only a joke! 😆
And you’re one fun gal to share a joke with.
Thanks, William. We had a house full of laughter today ~ a mini reunion with lots of joking around. Twas FUN!
I got 75% correct, which isn’t bad considering I’ve taken the darned test at least four times. #4 tripped me up.
I should dig out some more of these . . . it’s fun to mess with “seniors.” 😛
Gosh, I thought I did well until I read the unexpected answers. lol 😀
It’s a real “wake up” call, eh? I got tricked by #4 even though I’ve seen it before.
I am going to bed now.
Rest is very important ~ especially since we lost an hour last night. 😀
Thankfully we lose the hour on the weekend. I would not like it if was during the work week.
This year, we set the clocks ahead around dinner on Saturday night and started adjusting to the new time before bedtime.
How about I just admit that I’m old and get on with it! LOL!
That’s the spirit! Accept the “what is” and “do what you can with what you have where you are.”
LOL – I just love driving the bus! 😉
Yes! The only detours we take are those of our own designs and desires. 😉
What a hoot. I’ll archive it for later! Val x
Glad you enjoyed, Val.
I got 11 right. Is that a problem?
Not at all . . . I think it just means that you’re driving your own bus PLUS a jumbo jet. 😉
Haha… I’m a total fruit loop 😆
I didn’t even try #4… couldn’t even get through the first sentence before I had flashbacks of grade school math. Word problems have never been my friend.
Too much like: Two trains depart from Points A and B, 15 miles apart. The first travels at 65 mph. The second travels at 47 mph but stops to pick up a box of gummi bears.
Where will they meet?
Haha, the linguist in me says a green house is made of green bricks, and a greenhouse is made of glass!
I caught that too, as did William. I don’t think this is a very scientific study. 😀
Love it, Nancy! I’ve not heard this before and it made me laugh ~ very cleverly done and the ‘tag line’ is perfect! 🙂
Yay! Glad you enjoyed, Jacqueline. It’s great when a joke post tickles our funny bone.
