How Many of These Can You Answer Correctly?

This is a fun quiz that our son got in an e-mail recently. I
hope you will take it just to see how observant you really
are. Amazingly I scored better than I thought I would;
however, I missed a couple of really obvious ones! Oh well!


QUIZ:
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 you how little we pay
attention to the common place 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 20?? (The average is 7) Write down your
answers as you go. Check answers (on the bottom),
AFTER completing all the questions.

LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY
ARE.
1. On a standard traffic light, is the green on the
top or bottom?

Hi! The quipper,thanks for taking the quiz and leaving me a comment. I think that is what I got too (or close to it) so we did alright!! :)

I have been enjoying reading your comments on my husband's blog - I will have to check out your blog. With all of our trips, etc., I have been out of touch with making posts, commenting on, and reading the blogs! I must get back into it!

Blessings!
