I believe the answer for #14 is wrong, or incomplete.

My ceiling fan downstairs is counter-clockwise, as I believe all ceiling fans are. I'll call my Dad in the morning to find out the correct answer to this question, as he's worked in the fan industry for the last 30 years.

SMB - ceiling fans go both ways if they're worth a damn - this way you can change the rotation from winter to summer.

Interesting. Guess that gets to the point of the quiz (how much we don't pay attention to things we deem ordinary).

the fan question should be removed because fans rotate both ways

it should depend on whether it's summer or winter. in the winter the air is circulated from the ceiling to the floor. in the summer it's the opposite.
