I got 19 and 5/6 (missed one of the Campbell soup colour)
Did we all get # 20 right

I got 12, but... how could I write my answers down, if I can't use anything in or on my computer or desk????? Maybe that's the test...

Nope, I got 14, but I'll give myself two free points for the Canadian coin questions and say I got a 16.

I can't believe I got the lug nut/tire question right when I've never changed a tire in my life, yet I got the venetian blind question wrong but I'm the one who opens and closes the blinds everyday in my house.

One of the other questions I got wrong was the pack of matches question. I don't know about that one. When I used to smoke I never had enough matches to use for an entire pack of cigarettes, I always came up short.

i got 18 wrong and 4 wrong it is hard

 

[vald1977]

I got 17 right so I guess I'm average . Didn't know the two Canadian coin questions either, along with some others.

I missed 7 so I got 20 right. Yahooo! I missed questions 4,9,10,12,14,15, & 24. Fun quiz.
