Aptitude Test for FTE'rs

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 are still "with it.
"OK, relax, clear your mind and....... begin.



**************************************************
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 "Children's World." If you said, "water" then 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 greenhouse made from?









************************************************
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green
bricks," what the devil are you still doing here reading these
questions????? If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.



4. 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"?




**********************************************
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 appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.


5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute then 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 your pencil in and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.


6. Without using a calculator -- You are driving a bus from
London to Milford Haven in Wales.In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get in. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen,six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?

Answer: Oh, for god's sake! It was YOU, you dummy. Read the first line!!!

So much for education..

On the clock thing, I just realized we're not playing with a real clock.

With a real clock,

There are 360 degrees in a full circle.

The hour hand travels a full circle every 12 hours.

Therefore the hour hand really moves 30 degrees per hour (360/12 hours) which equates to 1/2 a degree every minute (30/60 minutes).


In our little test here (Thanks Million) it only travels 1/60 of a degree per minute.

The train will take 2 minutes but only if there's light at the end of the tunnel.
