Mensa 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 you loss or non-loss of
intelligence. So take the following test presented here and
determine if you are losing it or still a MENSA candidate.
Ok, relax... clear your mind, and begin.

Q: What do you put in a toaster?
*
*
*
*
A: The answer is bread. If you said "toast," then give up
now and go do something else before you hurt yourself. If
you said "bread", go to the next question.
***
Q: Say "silk" five times. Now, spell "silk." What do cows
drink?
*
*
*
*
A: 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 the next question.

Q: If a red house is made with red bricks, a blue house is
made with blue bricks, a pink house is made with pink bricks,
a black house is made with black bricks, what is a greenhouse
made with?
*
*
*
*
A: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green
bricks," what the heck are you still doing here reading
these questions? If you said "glass", then go on to the next
question.

Q: Twenty years ago, 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. Unfortunately, the
engine fails before he has time 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 - East
Germany or West Germany or in "no-man's-land?"
*
*
*
*
A: You don't, of course, bury the 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.

Q: If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every
minute, then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one
hour?
*
*
*
*
A: One degree. If you said "360 degrees" or anything else
other than "one degree", you are to be congratulated on
getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league.
Turn your pencil in and exit the room. Everyone else proceed
to the final question.

A: Oh, for Heaven's sake... It was you!
