I hesitate to post this as it requires a bit of the old "gray matter" BUT in the hopes that there are a few adults about who like to test their skills . . . . ,
Here it is:
How many of these questions can you answer? Are you really THAT observant?
You sure ? ? ? ?
The average person only gets 7 correct. (I personally find that frightening :(
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 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.
No cheating ! No looking around ! No getting out of your chair ! No using anything on or in your desk or omputer! Can you beat 20 ?? (Remember, the average is 7)
Write down your answers and then check your answers (on the bottom) only AFTER completing all the questions.
REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!! -- BE HONEST!!!
~ Here we go ! ~
1. On a standard traffic light, is the green on the top or bottom?

Whoot! 13. That means I'm almost twice as observant as the average person. By my math, that makes me almost one fourth as smart as an intelligent person...or, um...well, nvr mind.
And what the hell was the deal with the questions regarding canadian currency? I have tokens from Chucky Cheese's that are 15 years old that are worth more than canadian coins! :P

Based on what's happening in Washington DC lately, it might as well be another state or country for that matter. How about land of the liars... I mean lawyers... I mean liars... or something like that! <g>

If my intelectual level keeps on growin at this rate, then at 28 I'll be smarter than 4 and a half people. Time for world conquest. JK LOL
