observant quiz

[cfuh]

I got 13 right!!!

============================================

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

Average person only gets 7 right.

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?

These little simple questions are harder than you think-- it just
shows you how little we pay attention to the commonplace things of life. 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 then check your answers (on the bottom) only 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.

[catnapper]

I got 20 right, but if I were Canadian and ever even SAW a Candian dime or dollar, I'd have gotten 22! :p

I've often been told I notice the little stupid things (which makes me really bad when I catch the kids trying to get away with things... I notice something totally stupid nobody else in the world would, and say its out of place just *slightly* - enough for me to investigate further - and snag the kids in whatever devious scheme they were trying to put past us)

Depends which country the euro is from what is on the backside. :D I can't remember most of them but each country even though they all use the euro has their country's name on it with their own picture representing that country.
