12 here.;) I should have done better.:o

17 out of 25.

There are a couple, though which are age dependent. Older cars had 4 lug wheels, not 5, and there are 2 generations who have grown up without channel dials on their TV, and have no idea what UHF and VHF are.

16 here. I actually got wrong the one about what side the buttons are on, on a woman's blouse. I wear too many pull overs any more.......;)

13 out of 25 could have done better, Lady's Human has the highest, now don't get too chummy about it! ;)

[Lilith Cherry]

I got twentyone!! Wow , my husband says I am a mine of useless information and have a ragbag mind:rolleyes::D

[mrspunkysmom]

19! yippee. some I should have known

[Casper]

15, though I will admit a few of those were lucky guesses. :)

[Asiel]

18 but could have been 19. My venetians have the cord on the right side not the left...odd. I missed some that I could have guessed had I paid attention.

[Husky_mom]

19.. ok.. 18.. one I doubted and chose wrong.. lol.. should trusted my instinct.. haha..

that was the flag bar color.. not a clue.. so was a 50-50 there.. lol..

[kokopup]

17 here. I should have known at least 3 others but got in hurry.

[Karen]

I got 18 without any cheating.

I got 19. the one with the venetian blinds is tricky. is it as you are looking at it or facing out? has to be facing out because if I look at my blinds it's on the right and every set of venetians I've ever seen is the right... but that's if you are looking at them.

can't remember what other ones I missed

[Alysser]

I got 16, and was surprised how I was right on some of them. :p

18/25

I'm not sure this is so much about current observation, though, more like nostalgic memory. Seriously, how long has it been since you've seen a TV with a dial, if ever? And who counts matches in a matchbook?

[Karen]

And who counts matches in a matchbook?

I thought maybe smokers would have an advantage on that one!

[blue]

I pulled an 18. 20 matches per book 20 cigs in a pack.

[Bonny]

12:)

20 out of 25! First time through, no cheating. Hey, that was INTERESTING!

Hey I grew up with one! LOL
Yes, the matches one got me.

[wombat2u2004]

We have a winner.
Lilith Cherry made the highest score.
She shall now be known in future on this forum as............

"The Queen of Totally Useless Trivia 2010"

Thankyou all for participating.
Lilith....we will all see you next year. :p

I don't know any smokers who use matches, they all use zippos or disposable lighters.

I have a box of waterproof matches for camping, but so far I have never had to use them, I usually use a 'clicker' (a long handled butane lighter).

That question had me stumped.
