How Observant Are You?

[FONT=tahoma,sans-serif]The average person only gets 7 correct.[/FONT]​

[FONT=tahoma,sans-serif]

This is based on U.S. 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 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!
Except paper to write your answers down on....​

Can you beat 23?? (The average is 7) Write down your answers as you go.
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 pass this on to your friends, change the number on the
subject line to show how many you got correct. Forward to your friends
and also back to the one who sent it to you.​

[Uncle Bob]

13 right

 

[jpmcgrew]

I got 11.

 

[Andy M.]

I could only manage 19

 

[turtledove]

I got 22 right and the 3 I missed.......well, I should have known them, lol.

 

[sattie]

12 here... second guessed myself on at least 4 of them so I could of had 16!

 

[love2"Q"]

24 ...
no idea about the cambells soup ..

 

[YT2095]

18 Right (and I`m a UKer), although the Telephone and FM radio stuff was a No-Brainer for me, those are pretty universal.

 

[The Z]

I got 16. It woulda been a couple more had I thought a bit more. You folks that got 23 or 24 must be either very observant or had your best guesses come through for you .

I actually got 5 out of 6 of the soup can colors. Who knew they'd have gold AND yellow?!?

 

[YT2095]

actually it was the Blue on the tin I had to think about

Andy Warhol has a lot to answer for!

 

[turtledove]

I agree about the blue on the Campbell's can; that is the one I had to think about. On some of the others, I just seem to be able to keep odd little facts in my head. Sure wish that some of the "bigger" things would stay in my mind as well, LOL!

 

[evenstranger]

21 for me... 23 for DW... DOH!

 

[StirBlue]

I had 19 correct and I think that I put about as much thought into it as the rest of you. I would say about 25% thought and 75% interest. I've sent way too many soup labels to the school house for the Campbell's for Kids Project. I've been seeing those in my sleep for years!

Thanks for the challenge....I needed a boost today!

 

[Dove]

13..all I know about a car is how to drive it..some of the others I should have known too.I didn't stop to think..i just went on to the next question.

 

[AllenOK]

Well, I got 16, according to the answers listed. However, they didn't answer what's the top number on the FM Dial. I think it's 108, but could be wrong. I've had digital car radios for way to many years now. Also, I think the answer about which way does the water go down the drain is incorrect. In the Northern Hemisphere, cyclonic storm systems (which include hurricanes) rotate counter-clockwise

 

[miniman]

I got 8 Oh dear.

Incidentally the water down the bath plug debate has been going for years, I recently watched a programme saying that it can go either way whichever hemisphere you are in!!

 

[Buck]

Only 19.

I named too many dwarves. I added Goofy, Floppy, Bozo, Hippy, Sticky and Mike.

You forgot Dancer & Prancer

 

[jpmcgrew]

I only got 11 but is it because Im not observant or that I dont waste my time on the little stuff?

 

[Barbara L]

I got 21 but a couple of them were guesses. I missed the Campbell Soup label one, swinging the right arm with your left leg (I thought it was the right, but I second guessed myself!), the lowest number on the FM dial, and the number of lugnuts.
