22, i missed bashful (wtf question is that), the VHF dial question (wtf is that) and lug nuts on a car (wtf is that, although my total guess was 6 which isnt bad).

I could see it. This is more about paying attention to minutiae or having a somewhat photographic memory than anything like intelligence.

What, cutting and pasting the answers in, including some wrong ones?

If 7 is the average, this just goes to show how dumb some ppl really are...hopefully they will be sitting at your table!

the campbells color for me was a miracle guess, it was such a good guess im going to give myself a lot of credit.

Can you beat 20?? It is nearly impossible for any normal person to get higher than a 20 (The average is 7).

There are 11 questions that are "A or B" (1,3,6,8,10,11,13,14,16,22,25). So someone who knows absolutely nothing and just guesses on these questions will average a 5.5. They only need to know a few mundane facts to hit 7.

Why would the quiz-maker include this false scoring info in the quiz? Is it designed to make the taker feel like they're s00per intelligent when it's really pretty easy?

I think guessing on a quiz like this is pretty counter-productive.

For all those that are saying that 7 seems like a real low average... well, just remember there are people out there who don't even know the name of the President of the USA (and are American citizens), etc. I would guess the people on this board would generally be of above average intelligence.

I didn't write the quiz (obv.) and i don't know if those stats are really correct or not.

if you get less than a 7 you should be killed because you have nothing to give to society. I got a 19 thankfully, missing cambells(all but gold), matches(dont smoke), fm radio (88.3 close enough), no smoking sign, wtf is VHF i put 66 to be random, bashful
