michaelGA -> Questionaire (1/24/2006 3:42:46 PM)

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 how little we pay attention to the commonplace things of life.



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 just shows how little most of us really see!



RULES: 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 check answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all the questions.



It doesn't matter if you cheat, actually, because if you have to cheat, then you don't know the answer, thus, you've already missed the question.



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.



LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE. - If not, just have fun!



Here we go!





1. On a standard traffic light, is the green on the top or bottom?

2. How many states are there in the USA? (Don't laugh, some people don't know.)

3. In which hand is the Statue of Liberty's torch?

4. What six colors are on the classic Campbell's soup label?

5. What two numbers on the telephone dial don't have letters by them?

6. When you walk does your left arm swing with your right or left leg? (Don't you dare get up to see!)

7. How many matches are in a standard pack?

8. On the United States flag is the top stripe red or white?

9. What is the lowest number on the FM dial? (Don't look at that dial!)

10. Which way does water go down the drain, counter or clockwise? (Get out of the bathroom!)

11. Which way does a "no smoking" sign's slash run?

12. How many channels on a VHF TV dial?

13. On which side of a women's blouse are the buttons?

14. Which way do floor fans rotate?

15. How many sides does a stop sign have?

16. Do books have even-numbered pages on the right or left side?

17. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel?

18. How many sides are there on a standard pencil?

19. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's missing?

20. How many hot dog buns are in a standard package?

21. On which playing card is the card maker's trademark?

22. On which side of a Venetian blind is the cord that adjusts the opening between the slats?

23. There are 12 buttons on a touch tone phone. What 2 symbols bear no digits?

stef -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 4:12:16 PM)

22, and you need to renumber your questions (you skipped 18).

~stef




michaelGA -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 4:17:11 PM)

thanks. i've made the correction.




siamsa24 -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 5:16:57 PM)

I missed three, but only because I have no idea what the hell a VHF TV dial is




NakedOnMyChain -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 6:22:55 PM)

I got eight wrong.




physcsdrk -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 7:00:27 PM)

one wrong. Bashful got me




krys -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 7:16:25 PM)

I only got 7 wrong. Does that make me the solar opposite of normal if most people only get 7 right? Oh, wait, I already know the answer to that question.




CmotDribbler -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 8:59:04 PM)

22.
now gimme a Canadian editon so i don't have to think of all the damn american movies i've seen to get alot of those.




Arpig -> RE: Questionaire (1/24/2006 10:58:23 PM)

17 right, however, one of the questions is specifically US-based, the standard pack of matches in Canada has 25 matchs, since our cigarettes are generally sold in packs of 25. And i did count after i took the test, so any Canadians who said 25, count that as correct also (Running-dog "cultural" imperialists [;)]), so that gives me 18.




Eriayasha -> RE: Questionaire (1/25/2006 8:06:42 AM)

Yea! I got 21 right!
(Which is rather sad, considering I've seen this before!)

dorechan -> RE: Questionaire (1/25/2006 9:39:41 AM)

Just to say that those who answered on question 10 are wrong. The correct answer is "it depends". No, it doesn't depend on which hemisphere you are, poor Coriolis doesn't care about your bathroom.
Strange that so many people believe this popular legend.


edit : ... And I checked on a dozen random books. One of them had even numbers on the right.




Tempestspet -> RE: Questionaire (1/25/2006 9:50:29 AM)

13 correct




Real0ne -> RE: Questionaire (1/26/2006 7:17:32 AM)

i only got 21 correct, a couple of the questions can be argued that there are more then one correct answer. i dont eat campbells soup, i make all my soups from scratch so i have no clue what the can looks like. haha

That was fun tho :)

MarksFantasyGirl -> RE: Questionaire (1/26/2006 10:21:02 PM)

I got 19 right.... But I missed a couple of the questions... meaning i skipped them as i was reading for some reason... so i didn't do too bad! But I'm smarter than the average bear!




bucky5000 -> RE: Questionaire (1/27/2006 12:22:11 AM)

that means i got 21 right...yay!!




Gauge -> RE: Questionaire (1/27/2006 2:20:53 PM)

duskysub -> RE: Questionaire (2/3/2006 1:00:55 PM)

unownedredhead -> RE: Questionaire (2/7/2006 11:03:37 PM)

Tapestry -> RE: Questionaire (2/8/2006 5:27:02 AM)

18 right




collieloveruk -> RE: Questionaire (2/8/2006 6:28:08 AM)

ok im now feeling dumb i got 10 but maybe that just means i dont pay enough attention to american movies[:)] ......... our green traffic light is at the bottom and i just got a matchbox out and theres 32 in it, my fm dial is 81.5, my car wheel has 4 nuts, we have an average 6 hot dog buns in a pack, and the cord is definitely on the right of all my venetian blinds, oh and ive never been on a merry go round that goes anti clockwise................... does that make me a genius now for getting 10 foreign questions right? [:)]
