The average person only gets 7 right test yourself.

This is based on U.S. & CDN 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 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 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 and then check your answers (on the bottom) only
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.

LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE.
Here we go!

1. On a standard traffic light, is the green on the top or bottom?

2. How many states are there in the USA? (Don't laugh, some people don't

7. How many matches are in a standard pack?

8. On the United States flag is the top stripe red or white?

9. What is the lowest number on the FM dial?

10. Which way does water go down the drain, counter or clockwise?

11. Which way does a "no smoking" sign's slash run?

12. How many channels on a VHF TV dial?

13. On which side of a women's blouse are the buttons?

14. Which way do fans rotate?

15. What is on the back of a Canadian dime?

16. How many sides does a stop sign have?

17. Do books have even-numbered pages on the right or left side?

18. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel?

19. How many sides are there on a standard pencil?

20. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's missing?

21. How many hot dog buns are in a standard package?

22. On which playing card is the card maker's trademark?

23. On which side of a Venetian blind is the cord that adjusts the opening

yes pau that is still accurate.

Maybe you are getting the 52 from DC and Puerto Rico? Neither of them is a state. Puerto Rico is a territory and DC is just DC unto itself

I got 21 of the 27, have absolutely no clue about Canadian money!

At last count there were 5 USA owned provinces.
I know because we saw the Christmas Trees from each state decorated, also ones for each province a few years ago when we were there before Christmas. Roll Eyes
