I just used a hair drier to test them, and they work. The one in one bathroom is apparently chained to the other bathroom. They do share a common wall.

This is something I haven't done in the 10 years I lived in this place. I suppose the inspector tested them during inspection. Maybe we should have periodic mandatory home inspections the way some states require car inspections. Of course, and enormous problem would be the cost.
