Some fun trivia questions

[graceanne]

Check this out! (I got 16.)

DO NOT GET UP FROM YOUR CHAIR TO GET ANSWERS.

Some of this is based on U.S. info, (sorry!)

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 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.

LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE. - If not, just have fun!

Ok the hot dog buns got me, and the book pages (I read that one wrong) , and the no smoking sign. My FM radio goes to 87.5

So three, four if you count the fm, but i want to dispute that one.

 

[m wisdom]

I got 15 right,
I should get one more for the fm radio becouse mine goes lower then 88.

I got 10, but I didn't do number 4, 9, 12, 17 (what is a lug nut?), 19, 20, because they were too American for me. So I got 10 out of 19, not out of 25.
#19: Are those the dwarfs on the Disney movie of Snowwhite (or whatever she's called in English)?

edited: I suppose number 9 isn't American after all. I just didn't figure out that they were talking about a radio

 

[graceanne]

My FM dial goes to 82, I think. I'm going to have to check.

Chris, yes it's from the Disney movie of Snow White.

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

17 here but I have been called "a veritable encyclopedia of the useless and dork like"

 

[greenmands]

I got 18.
I missed 4, 7, 11, 12, 17, 24, and 25

 

[jadefirefly]

I got 15, but like many others, I dispute the FM dial thing. So for now, I am going with 15.5 as a score.

I missed 4, 8, 9(?), 10, 11 (sue me, I'm a smoker ), 12, 13, 19 (I cannot BELIEVE I missed it), 24, and 25.

I'm feeling pretty thick at the moment. :/

 

[caela]

18! woohoo, I'm not totally unobservant after all though I did have to think on a few of them.

 

[Cratchit]

proud to say i got 21 what can i say, i am observant

 

[brioche]

Technically 18 by the answers, but 19 in reality for me.
Pretty good since some of them are US centric,

So three, four if you count the fm, but i want to dispute that one.

Ummm, that would be 22 or 21....my useless knowlege meter runs very high.

(I even know the name of the Skipper on Gilligan's Island...and the Professor. That's really sad. )

 

[Chicklet]

I missed # 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, 20 and 25. I suck = p

 

[graceanne]

I missed # 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, 20 and 25. I suck = p

Um, you got 17. That's better than I did.

 

[buxxxom]

arctic-stranger, I'm as sad as you! I also know the name of the skipper on Gilligan's Island, the professor, too! I got 21, missed 5, 12, 17, & 23. My brain is full of useless trivia, song lyrics, periodic table symbols, etc.

 

[devoted lilgirl]

I got 18

I missed 4,7,11,12,17, 20, and 21.

Not too bad... I got the FM radio thing, but I kind of thought mine goes to 87.something.
