WOW i got 22 right!!! I must be smart!!!!

Post by danielmiller82 »

THE AVERAGE PERSON GETS 7 ... LETS C URS!!!

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 8?? (The average is 7) 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...

Then, before you pass this on to your friends, change the number on the subject line to show how many you got correct.

I got 17 out of 25. By the way, the question about the FM dial is wrong in some cases (I see 87.5 a lot), and the question about car lugs is outdated/ambigious... can be either 4 or 5 depending on the car/truck, and that's only on non-heavy-duty stuff, like a truck (6-8 lugs). That's kinda a weird set of questions.

BTW, you're not smart, just observant :) Probably has to do with memory retention, as in, total recall. I'm pretty good about remembering bullcrap stuff like that.

It was kinda fun to see how many you get right, although a few of the questions were dependent on the manufacturer..like pack of matches, radio or ceiling fans. Also on the last question I think they mean Carousel

The lug question was a little difficult...It said standard car wheel...At first i thought 4...but i thought about it for a while...and the majority of american cars have 5 lugs with the exception of some smaller Asian cars and a few older Domestic brand economy cars (most of which were contracted to asian companys)

That was pretty interesting, it definately made you think on a few of them, but almost all ceiling fans have a direction switch so the blades will turn either way.
I'm just bummed I couldn't remember bashful. :roll:

I got thirteen of 'em right..
