ricardo Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 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! 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. 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. REMEMBER NO CHEATING!!! 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!!!

ricardo Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 I got 9 right, so I am a tiny bit above average. Link to comment
jillg Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I got 18 right, and I didn't even cheat! (Maybe I'm just a lucky guesser! ) Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 17...and I'm not American. The ones I got wrong are: 4,9,12,13,17,19,22,25. In my office there are venetian blinds...one has the cord on the right, the other on the left. Maybe that's just Canada, or I could be mistaken about what venetian blinds actually are. ~Jo Link to comment
