1. What do you put in a toaster?




Answer:  "bread."  If you said "toast,"  then give up now and go 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?




Answer:  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 Ladybug or Highlights. 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," what
the devil are you still doing reading these questions????? If you said "glass,"
then go on to Question 4.

4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you
recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East
Germany.  Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed. The pilot,
realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash
landing procedure.  Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to
attempt an emergency landing, 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? . . . in  East Germany or West Germany or in
"no man's land"?




Answer:  You don't, of course, bury 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 appreciatedIf you said, "Don't bury the survivors,"
proceed to Question 5.

5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how many
degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?





Answer:  One degree! .  If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other than "one
degree,"  you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are
obviously out of your league.  Turn in your pencil, and exit the room. Everyone
else proceed to the final question.
