This is based on U.S. & CDN info, so use both sides of
your brain. This can
be more difficult than it looks - it just shows how
little most of us really
see! There are 27 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 you how little we pay
attention to the commonplace
things of life. 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 13?? (The average is 7) Write
down your answers and
check answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all the
questions. REMEMBER -
NO CHEATING!!!
Then, before you pass this on to your friends, change
the number on the
subject line to show many you got correct. Forward to
your friends and also
back to the one who sent it to you.
