Don't scroll down or cheat, and post your score, I got 17
It's a fowarded email thing, but its cute.
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&nb sp;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!!! It doesn't matter if you cheat, actually,
because if you have to cheat, then you don't know the answer, thus,
you've already missed the question. BE HONEST!!! That means no looking
at your phone or anything on your desk...
Then, before you pass this on to your friends, change the number

your friends and also back to the one who sent it to you. LET'S

Re: 19
I always wondered about the water thing. I was always taught since I was a kid that toilet bowls in Australia spin the other way going down. I always knew that if there is an outside influence, the water can go either way, I guess the effect only applys to large masses, like hurricanes?
I too had protest to some of the answers.
Fans, can spin either direction, I know I repair them. They even sell reversible motors, depending on the rotation.
I don't know if 5 lug nuts is standard anymore, since a lot of cars are smaller, and have only 4 lug nuts. Most kids these days might be inclined to answer 4.

Re: 19
The great toilet bowl tester!!
I am a plumber, and there are toilet bowls that don't even swirl at all.
Like a jet flush.
