15 right.

I got all but one of the directional spin ones wrong. Guess I don't pay attention.

The matchbook one and FM dial were rough -- I haven't looked at a radio dial in years and I don't smoke and probably haven't opened a matchbook in at least 10 years.

And the campbell's soup one. Black white yellow red -- after that I thought I remembered blue but never thought of gold as a color separate from yellow. Tricky one for me, oh well.

I'm surprised I remembered the traffic signal and the no smoking/don't do this sign incorrectly.

Very cool poll by the way.

I got 20.

I missed 6, 9, 12, 19, and 24.

No way that 7 is average. That would mean a lot of people get less than 7, which is beyond my comprehension.

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

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).

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.

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

I got 20 and I'm a retard.

Like everyone else, I call bs on

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?
