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 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) post your answers and check back in a couple of days and I'll post the answers!!

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.
