I got this as a forward from a friend, who was quite proud to have gotten 15 right. See what you can do. :)

A little fun for you when you have the time... ;)

NO LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM... NO LOOKING AROUND ON YOUR DESK...


This is based on U.S. & CDN 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 27 questions about things we see every day or have known about all our lives. How many can you get right?

No getting out of your chair! No using anything on or in your desk or computer! Can you beat 15?? (The average person only gets 7.)

Write down your answers and then check your answers (on the bottom) ONLY AFTER completing all the questions. That means no looking at your phoneor anything on your desk.

LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE.

I counted 19 right for myself, but if you want to get really technical, I only got 18. I said that the lowest FM number was 88.1, since the radios only do odd decimals, so I counted it right. :) Either way, that's better than what most people get, apparently. :)

Eighteen. Some of the questions left me sitting there for three minutes going . . ."Huh?" The money questions were cool since my mom comes from Canada, and I luffed the Seven Dwarf quesion. I like trivia. So yeah. I got 18.

I totally missed how many sides a pencil had and where the FM question. :ph43r:

I got 21.

what was with the canadian money questions?...i've never been to Canada before, so i had no idea on those ones.

Wow, very impressive. :) I've been to Canada once, to Niagra falls, years ago, but here it's not rare to see Canadian money. I just never paid attention to it. :P Where are you from?

California.

I guess i've probably seen Canadian money before...but all i can remember seeing is the pennies. so i dont know what anything else looks like. :P

13/27 (of which I could have answered only 20 (by looking around my room and such) in the first place unless asking an american/canadian/using the net :P) When will I learn not to take these quizes :P

Well, Cayana, concidering that you could answer only 20, here you go: I worked it out, 15/27 is like a 55.56% but 13/20 is a 65%. :)

26..i missed the blouses one....i try not to stare at blouses...to often...

lol.

a man who doesn't try to stare at womens...blouses. well i think that makes you different than most men i've met. :P

I got thirteen too, but as Cayana, I'm not from States so there was about twenty questions I could have known the answer to. So 13/20.

18.5/27

I didn't get all the colors on the Campbell's soup. I didn't know how many matches were in a standard pack. I didn't know what the lowest number of the FM dial was or the other channels one... I didn't know either of the Canadian ones or the lug nuts. I forgot the # button on the telephone, and I thought merry-go-rounds went clockwise. :P

24!

or maybe im not looking at the buttons :P

I got 17. I guess that is good. than again I was doing other things at the time. LOL
