Knowledge Test

How observant are you?

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 common place things of life. Put your thinking caps on. 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).
