Your Yearly Dementia Test

Your Yearly 
Dementia Test (only 4 questions this year)

 

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 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 made your answer.

 

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' 
five 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. 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 ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: Oh, for 
crying out loud !

 

 Don't you 
remember your own age?!?! It was YOU driving the bus!
