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. 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?? It is nearly impossible for any normal person to get higher than a 20 (The average is 7). Write down your answers on a piece of paper and 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 repost this, change the number on the subject line to show how many you got correct.

LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE.

Here we go!

I'm bored enough, why not.

Alright, I got 16 right, 17 if you count the paperclip one because technically I did get it right, but I was confused by the way it was worded. but like Cathy said, it was above average. which by the way, the only way I got the matchbook one right was because there are 20 cigarettes in a pack, so I just assumed there would be 20 matces in a matchbook. :p kind of how like there are 8 hot dogs and 8 buns in a pack. but like you said, you'd have to smoke to really know that. :p
