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.

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there are more than three colors, and they count gold and yellow as seperate colors) the VHF (which is wicked outdated and trivial), hot dog buns (i should have known this), ventein blinds (i don't own them) and merry go round (just guessed wrong)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.

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]

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.

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.
