Thread: Quiz

The average person only gets 7 correct.

This is based on U.S. 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 25 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 23?? (The average is 7) Write down your answers as you go.

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. Forward to your friends and also back to the one who sent it to you.

Ok Bill...so where are the answers??

This is like a blast from the past.....kind of like the IQ test in 3rd grade.
I got only 4 of the Campbell's soup colors, and I think the merry-go-round is counter and the fan clockwise. Everything else is like a checklist. Funny!

I actually visualized a rotary phone, the VHF dial, the FM dial (do people even listen to FM anymore since Sirius?), and some of the others....great! Now I feel old.....
