**Peter Voice** · Jun-25-2005, 08:35 AM

And I thought there was some sort of code about not giving away the secrets.

Should I tell every-one about how magicians manipulate their balls?

**MissFire** · Jun-25-2005, 07:42 PM

Isn't an inexplicable obsession with inconsequencial things one of the first signs of dementia?

**Lynneski** · Jun-27-2005, 10:21 AM

Nah, Peter. It's remembering and focussing on small details from the past that others let go of long ago as inconsequential. Close, but no cigar.

a test of ethics

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By

giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The

test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you

will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be

honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you

caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical

proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper and

you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making

photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some

disappearing under the water.

Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury. Suddenly you see a man

floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be

taken down with the debris.

You move closer . Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize

who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the

raging waters are about to take him under .. forever.

You have two options-you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot

a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of

the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the

classic simplicity of black and white?

here's another

Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. Take the following test 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," 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 appreciated.

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

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.

.
.

.
.

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 crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!!

There was one where 2 + 2 = 5

Semantics..."Take 1000" we take to mean you have 1000 but not in this case...it literally means subtract.

There was a whole game of these a few years ago...I especially remember the one where the woman rolled ciggies from butts.

Another one was..."What's between heaven and hell"?

A = the word "and"

Math trick

This may only work within the US:

1. Grab a calculator (You won't be able to do this one in your head)
2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
3. Multiply by 80
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer?

**gav** · Oct-19-2005, 03:25 PM

you'll be happy to know that it works in croatia too. I used my mobile number without my provider prefix.
