MENSA Test

[ma_guy]

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 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.

#2

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.

#4

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 procedure. 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.

I love that the Cold War "no survivors" chestnut has to now start with "Twenty years ago..."

Mensans must be stupid!

An hour hand moves 1/60th of 1/12th of 360 degrees per minute. 360 degrees divided by 12 equals 30 degees (per hour) devided by 60 equals 1/2 degree per minute. 12 hours equals 720 minutes so the hour hand goes 720/.5 every 12 hours and that equals 1. One time around the clock face, twice per day.

As stated above, the hour hand moves 30 degrees every hour.

Re: Re: #5

Thank you RhumbRunner! I thought it was 30 degrees in an hour as well... 1 degree just didn't seem right to me...

I got them all right in that case...

I feel into the same trap as you! The "given" is that the hour hand moves 1/60 degrees every minute......NOT that it is a "regular" clock.

didn't miss one. I have to say that is less of an inteligence test and more of are you paying attention to tricky wording test.
