A quiz, for fun!

[Defiant]

The average person only gets 7 right. This is based on U.S. & CDN
info, so use all lobes of your brain. This can be more difficult than it
looks - it just shows how little most of us really see!

There are 27 questions about things we see every day or have known
about all our lives. How many can you get right? These little simple
questions are harder than you think-- it just shows you how little we pay
attention to the commonplace things of life. Put your thinking caps on. No
cheating!

No looking around! No getting out of your chair! No using anything
on or in your desk or computer! Can you beat 20?? (The average is 7)

Write down your answers and then check your answers (on the bottom)
only
AFTER completing all the questions.
REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!! --- BE HONEST!!!

That means no looking at your phone or anything on your desk... Then,
before you pass this on to your friends, change the number on the
subject line to show how many you got correct.

LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE.

[Defiant]

Yes, I really did get 26 right. I missed the canadian dime one, the campbells soup one...bashful, and I dont remember the other one. Oh, what was I thinking? For some reason I was counting 4 wrong out of 30...DUH!

OK, so I got 23.

[lionhead]

i got 12. And i'm not american.

Questions i couldn't have known where:

2. (thought 52)
4. (who's campbell?)
7.(don't know whats that in the US)
15.(you guys might know, i don't own a lot of canadian money)
20.(i don't know what they are called in english)
21.(don't know what that is in the US)
24.(again, not much canadian here.)


so if you would give me those i would have 19 right.

Plus, on a standard wheel there are 4 lug nuts, not 5 (there are some with 3, but most are standard with 4.)

i got numbers 2,4,5,7,9,11,12,13,15,16,17,18,19,21 and 24 wrong.

[Defiant]

I can see how the test can be a little biased to America, yes...

[lionhead]

So, who's campbell?

[Birdy]

I got 13 right.. I sometimes didn't understand the question, for example: what's lug nuts?? I haven't got a clue.. Someone?
And I also don't know what the names are of the seven dworfs in English..

And wtf is this: On which side of a Venetian blind is the cord that adjusts the opening between the slats?

I didn't understand one word of the question

So.. Did I do ok?

[Defiant]

[Jeremy]

I got 14 right, but I amn't america, so I think a few are different and also some I don't know because they are aimed at Americans. I'm not even canadian so the coin ones couldn't help! Also I did it in a few minutes at school, so that's my excuses!
