A friend sent me this link in an email. I tried it and got 18 out of 25 (and no, I didn't cheat and didn't take it more than once--and I didn't look up any of the answers). The email said: CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW AND TAKE THE TEST.
THE NORMAL RATE IS 7 OUT OF 25. GOOD LUCK!
BE SURE TO FORWARD TO YOUR FRIENDS AND CHANGE THE NUMBER IN THE SUBJECT BOX TO YOUR SCORE.
DON'T BE EMBARRASSED IF ITS NOT SO HIGH. NOT MANY PEOPLE SCORE MORE THAN 5.
Go ahead you know you want to try it, if you get over 20 please let me know.....

I'll be back up to full speed tomorrow. We can't say the same for the creepy ol' Windstar. : ) LOL! Maybe I should have taken that quiz in my warrior toe shoes....... Now don't YOU start sobbing! ;-)

This is a silly quiz, a merry-go-round spins whichever way you push it, right?

So you're saying merry-go-rounds run counterclockwise?

Dak and I were thinking of the merry go rounds that are people powered with a push and a puff, not an elite merry go round that people pay to ride! : )

Playground merry-go-rounds, exactly. These were much more exciting than the carnival rides. Put two eight year old kids on the ride and challenge a 17 y.o. to get it spinning...someone will get hurt, at least a little.

The ones on the playground do. I think that is one of the ones I missed just because that was what I was thinking of. This is a silly quiz, a merry-go-round spins whichever way you push it, right?

That's not bad at all. Remember, in the thing I got about it, it said that most people didn't get more than 5. 16 - too late in my day for that.

If I hadn't gotten more than five of those right I certainly wouldn't have posted it. I would have probably retired from the internet altogether. You are probably correct about those who just got five. They must be voters.

Brian may be talking about totally stupid answers (like I chose) - toilet flushing, Statue of Liberty, stop signs, et al, that make you want to bitch-slap yourself.

18 and I could just slap myself for some of the ones I missed. The two that come to mind are VHF channels and FM Dial. If I hadn't rushed through it, I probably would have gotten the correct answers there. Campbells and Matches I never would have gotten.

21 right..I guess I notice stupid things. I only guessed 20 matches in a book because there are 20 cigarettes in a pack.
#32. To: scooter (#29)
I did get the vhf and fm dial ones correct. And the Campbells soup but missed on the matches. It has been so long since I smoked I guess I added some extra matches because I thought 20 cigarettes in a pack but maybe there are more matches in case one fails to light or doesn't stay lit long enough. 18 and I could just slap myself for some of the ones I missed.

Couple of the questions make no sense. For example, the water going down the drain...the direction is dependent on how the water is introduced and the geometric structure of the drain. The Coriolis force is simply too weak to affect these types of small bodies of water. Next, the fan, if it used to cool it goes in one direction and if it is used to warm a room it rotates in the opposite direction.
