“TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE”
As we grow older, certain functions in our brains cease to be as functional (for the want of a better word), as we would like them to be. With thanks to Keith Bennett, we seniors are given a list of questions that have to be answered, so that we can thereby work out individual Intelligence quotas of many thousands of e’Lankans all over the world even as we grow older. Please test your knowledge folks, try to pass the exam, and the correct answers will be divulged in the next edition of our exceptional Newsletter which, as you know, comes out to you, twice weekly.
