Your Annual Intelligence Test
It’s that time of year to take our annual intelligence 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! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you’re losing it or not. OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: “bread.” If you said “toast,” give up now and 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?

Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so 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, West Germany, or no man’s land”?
Answer: You don’t bury survivors. If you said anything else, you’re a dunce and you must stop. If you said, “You don’t bury survivors,” proceed to the next question.
