 Test for Dementia
 
     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 determineif  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 own.  OK, relax, clear your mind and...begin.

     1. What do you put in a toaster?
> >
> >
> >
> >
> >
     Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else. 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," please do not attempt the  next question. Your brain is obviously overstressed 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 bricks, what is a green house made from?
> >
> >
> >
> >
> >
     Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," what the devil 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.) Anywa, 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 made a  big mistake and you must NEVER try to rescueanyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.

     5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute
then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
> >
> >
> >
> >
> >
     Answer: One degree. If you said "360 degrees or anything 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.

In  Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six  people get off and three get on. You then arrived at Milford Haven.
