Twenty One
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! 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? (Don't you dare get up to see!) 7. How many matches are in a standard pack? 8. On the United States flag is the top stripe red or white? 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. How many sides does a stop sign have? 16. Do books have even-numbered pages on the right or left side? 17. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel? 18. How many sides are there on a standard pencil? 19. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's missing? 20. How many hot dog buns are in a standard package? 21. On which playing card is the card maker's trademark? 22. On which side of a Venetian blind is the cord that adjusts the opening between the slats? 23. There are 12 buttons on a touch tone phone. What 2 symbols bear no digits? 24. How many curves are there in the standard paper clip? 25. Does a merry-go-round turn counter or clockwise? - -- --- ---- ----- ------ ------- -------- --------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- ------------- ------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- - -- --- ---- ----- ------ ------- -------- --------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- ------------- ------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- - ANSWERS 1. Bottom 2. 50 3. Right 4. Blue, red, white, yellow, black, & gold 5. 1, 0 6. Right 7. 20 8. Red 9. 87.7 10. Clockwise (north of the equator) 11. Towards bottom right 12. 12 (no number 1) 13. Left 14. Clockwise as you look at it 15. 8 16. Left 17. 5 18. 6 19. Bashful 20. 8 21. Ace of spades 22. Left 23. *, pound 24. 3 25. Counter ---- The number I got correct is in the subject line: 21 |

I got 16 right. I suppose that at least makes me above average.
And I'd like to know how peoplw who don't smoke or constantly light candles are supposed to know how many matches are in a typical book. |

I'm bored enough, why not.
And I haven't looked at anyone's answers. 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.  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. 1. On a standard traffic light, is the green on the top or bottom? bottom 2. How many states are there in the USA? (Don't laugh, some people don't know) 50 3. In which hand is the Statue of Liberty's torch? right hand 4. What six colors are on the classic Campbell's soup label? don't really eat Campbell's.....red, white, black, yellow, blue, green 5. What two numbers on the telephone dial don't have letters by them? 1 and 0 6. When you walk does your left arm swing with your right or left leg? (Don't you dare get up to see!) right leg 7. How many matches are in a standard pack? 20 8. On the United States flag is the top stripe red or white? red 9. What is the lowest number on the FM dial? 88.1? 10. Which way does water go down the drain, counter or clockwise? counterclockwise 11. Which way does a "no smoking" sign's slash run? top right to bottom left 12. How many channels on a VHF TV dial? i have no idea...? 13. On which side of a women's blouse are the buttons? right side 14. Which way do fans rotate? counterclockwise 15. How many sides does a stop sign have? 8 16. Do books have even-numbered pages on the right or left side? left 17. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel? 5 18. How many sides are there on a standard pencil? 6 19. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's missing? bashful 20. How many hot dog buns are in a standard package? 8 21. On which playing card is the card maker's trademark? ace? 22. On which side of a Venetian blind is the cord that adjusts the opening between the slats? left 23. There are 12 buttons on a touch tone phone. What 2 symbols bear no digits? pound and star 24. How many curves are there in the standard paper clip? depends what you mean by curves...if you mean one semi circle, then 3, but if you mean everytime it changes direction, then 6. 25. Does a merry-go-round turn counter or clockwise? clockwise |

Heh. I got 15, which is also the score I got when this was posted over a year ago. I was worried I may have actually done worse.
