With the baby boomer generation now invading the realm of the
senior citizen, it's not surprising that a new test has been devised to
determine their mental acuity.
Below are ten questions. In order to pass the test, you only
need to get four of them correct. Answer the questions without scrolling down
to the answers listed at the bottom of this post…and no fair asking Google to
give you the answers.
Remember…you must answer four of the ten correctly to pass
the test. Pencils ready? You may begin
now!
1) How long did the
Hundred Years' War last?
2) Which country
makes Panama hats?
3) From which animal
do we get cat gut?
4) In which month do
Russians celebrate the October Revolution?
5) What is used to
make the type of brush called camel's hair?
6) The Canary Islands
in the Pacific Ocean are named after what animal?
7) What was King
George VI's first name?
8) What color is a
purple finch?
9) Where are Chinese
gooseberries from?
10) What is the color
of the black box in a commercial airplane?
Okay…there's your list of questions. Have you finished
writing down your answers for all ten questions? Great! Now you can move on to
the answers.
Remember…you must have answered a minimum of four correctly
to pass this test.
1) One hundred and
sixteen years
2) Ecuador
3) Sheep and horses
4) November
5) Squirrel fur
6) Dogs
7) Albert
8) Crimson
9) New Zealand
10) Orange
So…how did you do?

Hi, Marika. 7 is almost double the number needed to pass. Thanks for playing our game. Tell her what parting gifts she's won, Johnny.
Oh...ooops. Sorry, no parting gifts this week. :)

Maddy: Don't do anything foolish. Here's a thought...if you don't pass, you aren't allowed to be a senior citizen no matter how old you are! :)
Thanks for your comment.
Grace: I remember the first time I was in England and encountered that O.A.P. terminolgy...there's something about Old Age Pensioner that sounds so much older than Senior Citizen. :)
Thanks for stopping by.
I quit!-an adorable senior who writes romance/suspense. Thanks for a good laugh.
Charmaine: My theory says if you can't answer 4 of them correctly then you're obviously not old enough to be a senior citizen. :)
Thanks for commenting.
