Observation Test
I got this from my mom the other day. Unfortunately, she sort of ruined the test for me by just asking me random questions from this, instead of just sending it to me...so now I know the answers without having taken the quiz. Oh, well.
And what does it say about my mom that she got 52 for question #2?
"Well, then, what is Puerto Rico?" she asked.
Gotta love it.
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 on your thinking caps!!
Mind teasers of COMMON KNOWLEDGE. No cheating! No looking around! 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 (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 how many you got correct in the
subject line. Forward to your friends and also back to the one who sent it to
you. LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE. Here we go!
