SOMETHING TO DO....A FUN QUIZ

The average person only gets 7 correct. (I GOT 14 RIGHT, WHICH IS PITIFUL SINCE I'VE DONE THIS ONE BEFORE)


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


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 23?? (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.



LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU RE ALLY ARE.

What the hell is the Statue of Liberty’ & Campbell’. My ceiling fans turn whatever way the switch is set to. You're being pretty insensitive here Robin, what if one doesn't have a left arm? There are 8 edges on a stop sign but only 2 sides; THE FRONT AND THE BACK! My merry go round goes whichever way I push the frigging thing!
