Goodness, I only got 9 out of 20. :) But, I know I'm not the most observant person. Cool quiz.

i got 11 out of 20,....

i did better than i thought:)

I don't think I done that well at all! Most of the questions, I just scratched my head over. My goodness, who remembers how many matches are in a box!! Memory really, really bad!

I missed two (#15, #17). I'm a very visual person, so, for example, I just pictured standing getting ready to jump on a carousel, and knew which way it was turning!

I had 16 of of 20 correct.

I did pretty good! I've always thought I was oblivious to the mundane!:D

I did pretty well.I didnt bother to count how many i got right or wrong,so i dont know exactly how well i did.

I have to say I don't know a lot cause I really don't pay close attention to american stuff :o and our traffic lights for side ways, not down hah (well most of them)

-sits alone in corner-

I got 15 correct. I didn't know the american ones either, since I'm not american:p and some of them were guesses.

I got 14 right. I had to laugh at Karen and myself, we both missed #17, the one about the 1 dollar bill. I felt so silly for getting that one wrong. Oh well, I'll blame it on the debit card. Who uses cash any more?:)

I had to go look at that one! It has a 1 on the back of it? I never look at money, just spend it when I have it!!:D

13 right. I was wondering if the stop sign was going to be a trick question and instead of 8 being the correct number of sides, it was going to say 2 - "front and back"
