How observant are you?
The average person only gets 7 right.
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!
Can you beat 15?? It is nearly impossible for any normal person to get higher than a 15 (The average is 7). Write down your answers 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. - If not, just have fun!

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?

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?

19. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's missing?

n.b. from rabidsamfan: I think that seven may be a low estimate for "normal" people, intended to make us all feel brilliant. But it's still a fun quiz. If you're curious, I missed 3, 9, 11, 12 (because I misread it as UHF not VHF), 13, 17 (I haven't needed to change a tire in over fifteen years) and 18 (although I was iffy about that one, and changed my answer from the correct one to a wrong one before I looked at the bottom of the post.)
