[tbhd]

The average person only gets 7 right. This is based on U.S. info, so use

all lobes of your brain. This can be more difficult than it looks it

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.

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!

Write down your answers and Check answers (on the bottom) AFTER
completing

all the questions.



REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!!



BE HONEST!!! That means no looking at your phone or anything on your

desk...

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.

I answered and only looked at the answers after posting the reply. So I wonder how did I do??

[Fordzilla]

Wow, that was fun. I only got 20 right. Guess that means I don't win the grand prize. Very interesting though. I had to copy and paste it so I could send it to a few more friends. Hopefully they don't all show me up and make me feel really short upstairs.

[OntMont]

I skipped the drain question (agree with Glen that is not really true), I put the bottom of the FM dial at 87, I forgot Dozy. Got the merry-go-round wrong.

Some that I got right were just guesses. (Campbell soup, Statue of Liberty, matchbook)

I once read that TV channel 1 was taken off the dial to provide a frequency for taxi cab communications.

[adelmoll]

Boy am I stupid. Only got 16 right but I should get some credit for getting 5 of the 6 colors on the soup can. Shouldn't I?
