Guest PM Dawn Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 How's your aging intelligence? Take the following test here and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it." The spaces 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?>>>>>>>>>>>>The answer is "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 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 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 greenhouse made from?>>>>>>>>>>>>Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," what are you still doing here reading these questions?? If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.4. 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.5. Without using a calculator -You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales.In London, 17 people get on the bus.In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on.In Swindon, two people get off and four get on.In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on.In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on.You then arrive at Milford Haven.What was the name of the bus driver?>>>>>>>>>>>>Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 But doesn't the hour hand move 30 degrees in an hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 got to the last question and thought the answer would be 26, I just do not understand the last question or answer :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 trackrat I think you'll find the clue in the second lineYou are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in WalesIn other words it's you thats driving.I still say the hour hand moves 30 degeers an hour, while the minute hand is doing It's 360 degree sprint.

djohn Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Need more spacing between the Q & A's I can see the first 4 Q & A's on my screen at the same time! ;) Still got number 2 wrong though! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 doug you may be right but if you look at the question 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?If the hour hand moves 1/60 of a degree every minute, and there are 60 minutes in an hour then it stands to reason that the hour hand has moved 60 1/60 degrees, in other words 1 degree. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I agree with the numerical exactitude of the argument but it doesn't. So there. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
