Answer:- "water" if you said
"milk", then may I suggest that you do not try the
next question, as it may seem that your brain cell is over-taxed, you need a
holiday...may I suggest children's world?
If you said "water" then you may go onto question 3
3. If a red house is made from red
bricks, a blue house is made out of blue bricks, a pink house is made out of
pink bricks, a black house is made out of black bricks .... what is a green
house made out of?

Answer:- "glass" if you said "green bricks" then what the
hell are you still doing here reading these questions!!!!
If you said "glass" then please progress onto question 4
4. 20 years ago a plane is flying at 20,000 ft, over the old country of
Germany when two of the engines fail, the pilot, realising that the last
remaining engine was failing, decides on a crash landing procedure, but
unfortunately the engine fails before time and the plane crashes smack bang into
the middle of "no mans land"- the land between East Germany and
West Germany in the middle of the Berlin Wall, ..... Would you bury the
survivors in East Germany, West Germany or in "no mans land"?

Answer:- you don't bury "survivors!" If you said anything other than
that then please never fly, you may cause more damage should the plane crash!!!
If you said you don't bury survivors
then carry on to question 5.
5. If
on a clock the hour hand moves 1/60th of a degree every minute then how many
degrees will the hour hand travel in one hour?

Answer:- "1 degree" if you said "360 degrees", or anything
other than the answer, may I congratulate you on getting this far...but be
honest with yourself, do you think you can handle the last and final question?
If
you said "1 degree" then please go on to the last question
