Has this one been done here before? I can't remember it if it has. <br /><br />The average person only gets 7 right.<br /><br />This is based on U.S. and Canadian info, so use all areas 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 attention we pay to the commonplace things in life. Put your thinking cap on. No cheating! No looking around! No getting out of your chair! No using anything on or in your desk or computer! (Average score is 7)<br /><br />Write down your answers and then check your answers at the bottom, only AFTER completing all of the questions. REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!! --- BE HONEST!!!!
