Subject: : Your Annual Dementia Test – for NSW Driver's license from 2024. - All the Socialist Republic States of Australia to follow.

 Your Yearly Dementia Test! (only 4 questions this year)

 This one has some different questions than last year.

Yep, it's that time of year again for us to take our annual senior citizen driving 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 will lose it !!

The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've answered.

 

Q. 1. What do you put in a toaster?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: 'bread.'       If you said 'toast', just give up now and do something else.

And try not to hurt yourself:

If you said, bread,    go to Question 2.

 

 

 

Q 2. Say 'silk' ten 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.

 

 

Q. 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', why are you still reading this? -  PLEASE, go and lie down !  But, if you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4.

 

 

 

 

 

Q. 4. Please do not use a calculator for this for it would be cheating:

 

You are driving a bus from Jurong to Changi at Bukit Batok, 17 people got on the bus.  At Clementi, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.  At Outram, 2 people get off and 4 get on.  At Marine Parade, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.  And at Eunos, 3 people get off and 5 people get on.  You then arrive at Changi.

Without going back to review,  how old is the bus driver ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud !

 

 

 

Don't you remember your own age?!?!    It was YOU driving the bus!

 

 

 

 



PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 05:06:31 PMI am in no way trying to be a smart-ass here, but is that not true of any large, for-profit business?

Hey that's a valid observation.
It is, but IMO most businesses aren't the type where over working someone on little rest may result in serious injury and then claim employee safety is their #1 goal.

Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 09:51:42 AMTim, I won't wear it. They look like a 12-year-old girl's pajamas. I would need to lose a "kiss your ass in Macy's window" type bet to wear it. lol

I remember that bet! LOL I think some guy Saragusa (sp) maybe lost the bet I think (or maybe he won the bet) and had to kiss someone's a$$. LOL

 If you guys are still interested here is one that happens a lot more than you might think. It is a bit harder.

Once again, runner on 1st with one out.

Batter hits a ground ball to the 2nd baseman. The runner is running from 1st to 2nd in the basepath. The fielder in an attempt to field the grounder is in the basepath and the runner makes contact with him.

a-- runner is out and batter is awarded 1st base
b-- runner is out and batter is also out
c-- runner is safe at 2nd as he never went out of his baseline and batter is on 1st base
d---runner is awarded 3rd base as he was interfered with and gets an awarded base.Batter stays at 1st. 
e-- it's a do-over

Yup.  Wed-Fri-Sun-tues-thurs-sat-mon

ECF final starts Wednesday according to the TNT broadcast. That's a nice rest for the Rangers.

Parsons, by a wide margin.

Quote from: katkavage on Today at 04:23:57 PMThe epitome of both hubris and stupidity. If the Giants win only one game in 24 I want it to be against the Falcons.

Sorry Kat, if we win only one game I would pray it is over the Cowpukes and make it mean something to them.

I think quote from Barclay Goodrow sums it up.  From The Athletic, but I am sure several other places have it as well:

"'They're a great team," said Barclay Goodrow, who finally eased the tension with a 143-foot empty-netter with 48.1 seconds left. "It's not like we go up 3-0 and they're going to roll over and quit. They're a really good team and we knew they were going to fight back. We maybe had a letdown game last game but I think throughout the season, whenever that's happened, we've rebounded and came back stronger the next game.'"

Quote from: nb587 on Today at 07:59:47 PMIgor, and other goalies , regularly stop shots that would go wide or high.  Every goalie considers themselves lucky when a shot hits the post or a crossbar.

I see.  So, he should stop the SOG and the not SOG.  Does that mean Carolina was lucky to stretch it to 5 with the 3 posts the Rangers hit in game 4?
