Your Annual 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.
NOTE: Don't scroll down through all the dots after the question until you have answered it.
#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 ?

As it's you, i'm reluctantly pointing out that a green_house, as per the question, will be made from something coloured green, where as a Greenhouse, as per the answer, is normally made from Glass or some other transparent material.
The new meaning of a Green House of course is completely different, but those of us with a very traditional Grammar school education call it an environmentally considerately constructed dwelling.
But don't worry, it's obviously American in origin, and that would explain it.

Not the Vino, I don't actually drink alcohol, but that's probably the problem.
In reality it's too many years in a previous career proof reading pre-print proofs and signing them off at the risk of hundreds of thousands of pounds of scrap that means I automatically see inconsistant stuff like that.
My friend Nigel is the last person I'd want to insult, he's been a great help to me, and I'm sure he's appreciated my tounge in cheek answer.

Is a Greenhouse not normally made from timber/aluminum and then glazed with glass ?
