Dementia Test
email from a senior friend | 1/25/2020 | unknown

Posted on 01/25/2020 6:49:22 AM PST by sodpoodle

Your yearly Dementia Test ! (only 4 questions this year) I am only sending this to old folks.

Yep, it's that time of year again for us to take our annual senior citizen 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 will 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 the ones with memory problems may have difficulty.

Take this test to determine if you're losing it or not.

The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've answered.

OK,RELAX, clear your mind and 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, try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question #2.

# 2. Say 'silk' ten times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink ?

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question.

Your brain is already over-stressed and may even overheat.

Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Women's Weekly or Auto World.

However, if you did say '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', why are you still reading this ??? PLEASE, go lie down !

But, if you said 'glass,' go on to Question #4.

# 4 Please do not use a calculator for this for it would be cheating:

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 they do better than you.

PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!

Sorry for all the spaces. You'd be tempted to cheat otherwise.

If you had fun with this, send it on; I did.

Two words versus one word...

“Only problem I see is in #3...A green house is not a greenhouse....

I agree.

A green house is one that conforms to ‘green’ building standards (the correct answer).

Correct. Equating green house with greenhouse is a sure sign of dementia and calls the rest of test into question.

Apparently, after only a few questions I have determined I should immediately enter myself into the dementia wing of a nursing home.

Once you get into the dementia wing, sneak off into the common area and post inflammatory posts here.

A Homeland Security visit to the nursing home will add some excitement to everyone else’s boring day!

We could argue #2 based on if you consider a calf a young cow or a cow, then cows definitely do drink milk from their mother’s udders. The funny thing is, these questions aren’t so much about exercising your brain as much as slowing down and reading/ considering what you’ve read.

If you thought Adam Schiff was brilliant on the Senate floor you have dementia. Seek medical help immediately or apply for a job at CNN.

“Greenhouses are made from glass.”

GHs are also made, more commonly, from clear 6x-12x plastic film or polycarbonate sheets, than tempered glass, which costs 1,000x than the 2 previous materials. I was in the industry/ business for 35yrs, with many GHs.
