Just shows to go what people pay attention to ..or don't. I am VERY
visual..I can't follow written directions without follow up pics to guide
me. I HAVE to be able to picture to figure out. just the way my head works.
or doesn't...and yet if I knew most of the answers to these I forgot. Or
didn't pay attention cause it didn't matter. Maybe that's most of the
problem when you can't find the answer...if it's not of interest WHY would
you pay attention? Therefore you wouldn't know.
hmmmmmmmmmm

Wow! This scared me!
I got 4 WRONG!
I am a visual person..so I could SEE most things.
I missed the FM radio.. I said 9...I was close..haha! but WRONG!
I missed the no smoking sign..(guess because I never use to look at
them..haha! (have not smoked for 10 + and never should have - I have
COPD!)
I missed the lug nuts one..and I was arguing with myself over that. I think
it was like 5 on some cars at one point..and 6 on others..and kept thinking
on it..and decided on 6...WRONG!
I missed the curves on a paper clip. I said 4 immediately..then visualized
it and said down curve up..curve down... curve up... that is three..no I
must be wrong it is 4! duh! So..I was WRONG!
I even put a note in for the southern hemisphere for the toilet flushing
counter clockwise..haha! I also made a note...50 states plus the DC..but it
is not a state!
Ok.. I am going to bed now...
The Campbell's soup can was easy..I COULD see it! mmm mmm good...
Have fun all. I am not smart..just visual..... and the question about the 7
dwarfs...that is the one everyone forgets!
Thanks for the brain tease at 1 AM for me!

The average person only gets 7 right. DO NOT GET
UP FROM YOUR CHAIR TO GET ANSWERS.
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=20
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 20?? (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....
Then, before you pass this on to your friends, change the number on
the subject line to show how many you got correct. Forward to your
friends and also back to the one who sent it to you.
