    Default How Observant Are You?

    stolen from my friend's myspace....
    Body: The average person only gets 7 right, I am told.

    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 everyday 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 22 ?? (The average is 7)

    Write down your answers and then check your answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all the questions. That means no looking at your phone or anything on your
    desk


    1. On a standard traffic light, is the green on the top or bottom?
    2. How many states are there in the USA? (Don't laugh, some people don't know)
    3. In which hand is the Statue of Liberty's torch?
    4. What six colors are on the classic Campbell's soup label?
    5. What two numbers on the telephone dial don't have letters by them?
    6. When you walk does your left arm swing with your right or left leg?
    7. How many matches are in a standard pack?

    9. What is the lowest number on the FM dial?
    10. Which way does water go down the drain, counter or clockwise?
    11. Which way does a "no smoking" sign's slash run?
    12. How many channels on a VHF TV dial?
    13. On which side of a women's blouse are the buttons?
    14. Which way do fans rotate?
    15. What is on the back of a Canadian dime?
    16. How many sides does a stop sign have?
    17. Do books have even-numbered pages on the right or left side?
    18. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel?
    19. How many sides are there on a standard pencil?
    20. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's missing?
    21. How many hot dog buns are in a standard package?
    22. On which playing card is the card maker's trademark?
    23. On which side of a Venetian blind is the cord that adjusts the opening between the slats ?
    24. On the back of a Canadian $1 coin, what is in the center?
    25. There are 12 buttons on a touch tone phone. What 2 symbols bear no digits?

    I got 19 with the Canadian questions included. But since I have never seen any Canadian currency ecept for pennies, I'm not counting those questions!

    So I got 6 wrong then. (8 with the money questions)

    I got 13, but 2, 3, 8, 15 and 24 are all US/Canada-centric, so I don't think that's too bad. Discounting those I got 9 wrong.

    I got 19.

    I put "green" instead of "blue" on the Campbell's soup question but got all the other colors.

    Got both Canadian questions wrong. Close on a few other questions (like the VHF, radio dial and matches questions).
