See if you can figure out what these words have in common.



Banana................... Grammar
Potato
Revive
Uneven
Assess
Dresser



Are you peeking or have you already given up?

Give it another try. Look at each word carefully.

(You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer.)
This Is Cool.










Answer: No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters.




Answer:

In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.

Did you figure it out?

Method 1

Step 1 : Fill the 5 gallon jug and then pour it into the 3 gallon jug. The 5 gallon jug has
2 gallons left.
Step 2 : Now throw the 3 gallon water away. Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug to the 3 gallon jug. So now the 3 gallon jug has just 2 gallons of water.
Step 3 : Fill the 5 gallon jug again, and pour 1 gallon to the 3 gallon jug. What do u have left in the 5 gallon jug ?? 4 gallons of water.. !

Our Yearly "Dementia" Test

It's that time of year for us to take our annual senior citizen 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 how your memory compares to the last test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty. Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.

Answers on next post:::

OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.




1. What do you put in a toaster?










Try not to hurt yourself.










2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?









Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World.







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?






why are you still reading these???




4 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 , 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.
In Swindon , 2 people get off and 4 get on.
In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
In Swansea , 3 people get off and 5 people get on.
In Carmathen, 6 people get off and 3 get on.
You then arrive at Milford Haven ..


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






Oh, for crying out loud!


It was YOU driving the bus!!






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