[N 82 50 24]

I got 21, although I kinda think I should have gotten 21.83 to be fair.

4. I missed gold on the Campbell's label. I never eat that stuff so my answers were guesses anyway. I shouldn't get 5/6 credit here?

9. So close! I guessed 88.0 and it's 87.7. Damn presets have made it so I don't scroll down through that area of the dial.

12. C'mon, that's unfair. Who actually uses a TV with those things on it anymore? It took me a couple of minutes to even recall what you were talking about and then I remembered seeing something like that on my grandmother's old TV.

19. Sorry, haven't read that story in years, no clue who I was looking for.

Soup label (don't eat it), matches (don't smoke), FM radio (haven't used one in years), no smoking slash (!), channels, lug nuts, hot dogs (don't eat them), and merry-go-round.

16 right. I always thought that the way water went down a drain was dependant on which hemisphere you were in.

18 right

somehow I screwed up the traffic light, the phone thing with the letters, campbells soup (this question is kind of dumb considering there are more than three colors, and they count gold and yellow as seperate colors) the VHF (which is wicked outdated and trivial), hot dog buns (i should have known this), ventein blinds (i don't own them) and merry go round (just guessed wrong)

so doesn't anyone realise that the Coriolis effect is only one of many forces acting upon a body of water and for the most part it plays a minor role in the direction of flow in your toilet.

And 10 of these questions are 50/50 toss ups, so the idea that the avg person only gets 7 right is a joke, statistically they should get 5 right through chance and then have 15 more to work on.

21.

Missed #3 (right hand seemed too obvious [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] ), #4 (got 4 out of 6 colors), #9 (88.3), and #24 (4)

The average person has to get more than 7 right, I'd think.

You obviously give the average person way too much credit.

22 - I didn't wait to figure out Bashful, got a soup color wrong, and missed 87.7.

[spamuell]

The average person or the average American only gets 7 right? That wasn't a suggestion that Americans are stupid btw, it was that lots of these questions are about the US.

I got 17 which I think isn't too bad for an "alien". [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
