Annual Indiana Sheriff's Departments Mental Testing

[Keith_Hixson]

It's that time of year to take your annual mental acuity 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. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer.

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 your self. 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 over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto Trend and comic books.
However, if you said "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 these???
If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.


4. It's twenty years ago, and 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 .) Any way, during the flight,
TWO 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 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 must stop. If you said,
"You don't bury survivors", proceed to the next question.


5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from Indianapolis to Chicago. In Indianapolis 17 people get on the bus; In Colfax six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Layafette, two people get off and four get on. In Kankakee, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Joilet, three people get off and five people get on In Hammond, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Chicago.
What was the name of the bus driver?



















Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU

If you answered any question correctly you are far too smart to be working for the Indianapolis County Sheriff's Dept.
