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 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 20?? [bff9e1ea0c7](The average is 7)[/bff9e1ea0c7] Write down your answers and check answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all the questions.

REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!! BE HONEST!!! That means no looking at your phone or anything on your desk... LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE.

Here we go!

- campbells soup can is an oldie thing

I got 18 right, a couple by luck mostly, but the others were pretty easy once I stopped to really think about them. I'm in agreement though that some of those questions are kind of before my time and I'm 21. The exception being this next question, which really I just had no clue about

#19. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's missing?

I said Johnny Chimpo. wink

And P.S. the proximity of Chimpo's banana to Sleepy's yawning mouth is purely coincidental, it's the only Chimpo image I could find to work with. lol (JK, in my right hand I now hold my one-way ticket to hell.) twisted
