Comic Book folks are geniuses. Take this test.

[gcstomp]

Comic book folks, or comic folkers if you prefer, have abilities far beyond that of mere regulars. My $1 boxes yield books that become pressed, shined, slabbed, and maybe tickled, and become $100 books. This complicated process requires Mensa level abilities.

 

Take this test, and you gain automatic admittance to Mensa if you get these simple questions correct.

 

1. What do you put in a toaster?

 

 

 

The answer is 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 overstressed 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 three.

 

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 heck are you still doing here reading these questions? If you said "glass", then go on to

question four.

 

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 1/60th 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 on. 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 goodness sake! It was YOU, Read the first line!!!

I said 'milk' but pressed on undaunted. I got the rest right but then gave up on the last question

[Ringfinger]

I did well.

[jordanscott]

I always ace this one.

 

I see it come across my email at least 3x a year.

[Snake Eyes]

Hah...I used those tricks on my students when I was teaching introduction to psychology in the memory/cognitive psych chapters...spreading activation of memory, Left/right hemisphere stuff...it's all good! Left one out though...

 

 

 

Name something red....

 

 

Spell spot three times....

 

 

What do you do when you get to a green light...

 

 

 

 

 

If you answered stop, you have also failed...of course we should go when the light is green! Or so my driving instructor told me those many years ago

[Boozad]

Got 'em all. Again.

[nocutename]

I said milk too.

[Theagenes]

I said "translucent fiberglass" instead of "glass." Does that count?

[mica]

Yeah the "bury the survivors" has been around for quite a while.

 

But still fun.

[Paratrooper]

Damn I failed, I said Poptarts

[Hedge Collector]

Are you my long lost twin brother? I did exactly the same.

[Wrightson fan]

Another one would be.....A rooster is standing on the top of an "A" framed roof of a chicken coop.....he lays an egg. Which side does the egg roll down?

Roosters don't lay eggs.

Apparently I'm as dumb as a post.

Or

 

An electric train is heading north, which direction does the smoke leaving the engine travel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: nowhere, electric trains don't spew smoke.

I used to have an old Lionel that did.

You have 8 billiard balls. 7 of them are the exact same weight. 1 ball is slightly heavier.

 

Using a scale such as the one pictured below. How do you identify precisely which ball is the heaviest in 2 measurements or less?

 

[nmtg9]

Test is flawed.

 

Nobody would go to Milford Haven. Ever.

[That Ron Dude]

I was completely aware that bread goes in a toaster. Once the bread got stuck though. I used my pen!$ to try to get it out and I got a shock. Do I still get the no-prize?

[MightyBeanComics]

I said a fork
