The average person only gets 7 correct.



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 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...

according to this test, I got 17 right...but I think my score is really 19 because...
16. Do books have even-numbered pages on the right or left side? LEFT Every book I've read, page one starts on the RIGHT.
22. On which side of a Venetian blind is the cord that adjusts the opening between the slats? LEFT The cord can be on either side, I put right because that's the side I've seen it on the most.

Some of the questions are too ambiguous.
number of matches...books are far more common these days and souvenier packs which have about 20 matches
women's blouse....unisex makes this almost obsolete
fans rotating....ceiling fans rotate both ways depending on the season
paper clip...is a curve 90 deg or 180deg?
merry go round....in the park they can be pushed both ways, at the fair I have been on clockwise ones

and the two Genn mentioned...

I got 16 and I got the number of states wrong in the US....but equally I could ask you how many counties there are in England (don't laugh, some people don't know)
