Daily detail quiz

Subject: Take the test
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!!!
That means no looking at your phone or anything on
your desk...


Just respond to the thread with your number score.....



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

I had a lucky day! 19

[withdrawnmist]

I got 15, which I'm quite pleased with, also (excuse mode !) as a UK peep, The questions about the smoking sign slash and stop sign sides were alien to me. To make up for this I should awarded 5 points each (10) which really means I got them all right. ...YAYYYYY !!!!

Yes, I beleive that is fair.

[Lightkeeper]

I got 17 correct. It took me awhile to remember Bashful. I ran all of these names through my head like Dumpy, Frumpy, Lumpy, Shorty before it came to me.

Neil....nice try, just make up a UK daily detail quiz....then you can laugh at what we don't know!!!

LK, Lumpy???? Frumpy???????
I usually launch into the dwarfs' names when I am trying to remember Santa's reindeer!!!!!!!!!

[peace123]

Got 13 correct, and I am happy because that is my favorite number

[withdrawnmist]

13 is also my favourite number, in fact I passed my driving test on Friday the 13th !!...but seeing as I'm not superstitious it doesn't phase me at all !!..



Lizskid !!...great suggestion about doing a UK detail quiz....I would, but it would entail having to do some work and I'm bone-idle and lazy !!

[Bea Ond]

I got 14, but I think some of those answers are wrong. And who is to say what is standard anyway?

[bahai-sojourner]

I got 16, but in my house, the bathtub sometimes drains in 1 direction, sometimes in the other. So that's 17. Oh, yeah: my bedroom fan is reversible, so it can go either direction. So I got 18.

I forgot: a carousel goes counter-clockwise; a merry-go-round goes in whichever direction you push it. So I got 19.

And really, the buttons on the blouse are on either the right or the left, depending one whether you're the one wearing it, or you're the one looking at the one who's wering it. So that's 20

Then there's the extra point for spelling my name right, and I brought the teacher an apple. 22.
