I received the following from a friend who scored 15. I scored 17 and think a few of the answers are bunk. - How well do you think you can do? (I will put the answers in the comment section - good luck)
The average person only gets 7 right. This is based on
U.S. info, so use all lobes of your brain. This can be
more difficult than it looks -it just shows how
little most of us really see!
There are 25 questions about things we see every day
or have known about all our lives. How many can you
get right? These little simple questions are harder
than you think. It just shows how little we pay
attention to the commonplace things of life.
RULES: Put your thinking caps on. No cheating! No
looking around! No getting out of your chair! No using
anything on or in your desk or computer!
Can you beat 20?? (The average is 7) Write down your
answers and check answers (in the comment section) AFTER
completing all the questions. REMEMBER-NO CHEATING!!!

not, just have fun!

I am suspicious of the 87.7 on the FM dial.
The clockwise toilet flush thing only north of the equator is bogus. It's an urban ledgend.
How am I supposed to know who the seven dwarves are?
I agree - the toilet answer was totally bunk. And, I think that bashful and sleepy are actually the same dwarf.
Wha?!! No partial scores for the soup can question?
I scored 17.
Why aren't these the kind of questions offered on trivia night???!!!
Maybe we need to come up with our own trivia night : )
um, actually to the person who said the toilet water was urban legend and the person who agreed with him, its coriolous effect, proven fact. snipers have to battle this element in extreme long distance shots because of the spin of the earth. its sience dude.
IT DIDNT SAY TOILET IT SAYS DRAIN LIKE A SINK!
Frank, you may want to check your science.
