Brother Spam: Fun Test

[Lyrima]

Subject: Fun Test


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 20?? (The average is 7) Write down your answers as you go.  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.  Forward to your friends and also back to the one who sent it to you.

[PinkRose]

I only got 18.   8)

[Wroethgar]

I got 18, 19 if you accept just Ace for answer 21.  ( I didn't put, "of Spades")

Missed the stoplight, Cambell's Soup can, No Smoking sign, VHF channels, and carousel. 

Fun!

23

I didn't know the soup label (missed blue and yellow) or the no smoking sign.

I just kept closing my eyes and envisioning the things though to do it.

[Lyrima]

I did the same, Dice; apparently I haven't the foggiest clue which way things turn. Heh.

[Sagacity]

I only got 16 but I have to say it's a totally American-centric set of questions so some of the "correct" answers they gave are just wrong from my point of view....   

[tanare]

16 here taking into account on the soup can question i gave myself credit since my color blindness doesn;t let me see the colors exactly the way most people do so the gold looks orange to me.

i did close my eyes and visualize when i could too.

[Noa]

mwhahaha!

i got 19!

*does a happy little smarter-than-the-XO-dance*   

20 if you argue that fans can rotate both directions.  my window fan does to both intake and outake air.

[Anaris]

I got 15 right....

I said the statue of Liberty was holding her torch on the left...

For #6, I wrote "Yes" as my answer... When I read the question again after checking my answer I couldn't stop laughing....hahaha...

I got 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 (I wrote "Mopey"), 20, and 22 wrong in addition to the above mentioned....

Surprisingly, I knew the Campbell soup colors even though I hate Campbell soup!  Must be the Warhol poster...

[DeeCaudill]

Bleh...

When was the last time I had to deal with a TV on an antenna?  Sometime around 1980.
