A rather simple test that should intrique you. The intro to the test says that the average person gets only 7 out of 25 correct. I got 16 which I think is more "average". What can you do? It is biased for American readers.

You have to do this in one sitting, btw.

I'm sure it was more good guessing than my astute powers of observation that gave me 20 correct answers.

The quiz is screwy. It asks when you walk does your right hand swing with your left or right leg, I said neither because I don't swing my arms when I walk, walking through narrow isles of cubes the arm swingers always seem to hit me so its an annoyance I make sure to not do, quiz said I was wrong.
I could argue with the fm radio one, if you round up then the dial starts at 88, but fm stations are on odd frequencies not even and the lowest its 87.9, 88.0 would be an even number and therefore no station.
# of lug nuts on a standard car wheel? What is a standard car wheel, my truck has 6, some small cars have 4.

So I only got 14 since i disagreed with a few, there were a couple others but I don't recall what they were.
