My mom sent me this link to this "quiz". Basically it asks you 25 questions about everyday common things. It's aimed towards Americans I'm assuming since it asks questions about the flag and traffic lights, but I think everyone should try it. :D

Clicky Click

What's your score?

I got 13 out of 25. :P

24 out of 25

If you don't live in the US the only things you can answer are the questions about the flag and the number of states.

17, but I only got some of the questions wrong simply because I wasn't sure what they were asking. I don't know what kind of TV remote they were asking, nor do I own a woman's blouse, NOR do I know what venetian blinds are.

I got 15. >.>
Haha.

I got 19. Not bad for not being overly observant. hehe

YO - I GOT 16. SOME OF THEM WERE THINGS I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, LIKE THE HOT DOG PACKETS, AND THE STOP SIGNS (WHICH ARE ROUND IN THE UK, YO!). AND GOSH, SOME OF THEM WEREN'T ABOUT OBSERVATION BUT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE - LIKE BEING OBSERVANT ABOUT YOUR SURROUNDINGS WON'T TELL YOU HOW MANY AMERICAN STATES THERE ARE, NOR WHAT CHARACTERS ARE IN A DISNEY MOVIE (ALTHOUGH THE CLEVER PUCK GOT THOSE RIGHT, YO!). I TOTALLY GOT THE MERRY-GO-ROUND QUESTION RIGHT, EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T BEEN ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND SINCE I WAS A LITTLE FIVE YEAR OLD - IT WAS SUCH A TRAUMATIC DIZZY-MAKING EXPERIENCE THAT I REMEMBERED EXACTLY WHICH WAY ROUND I WAS GOING!

I THOUGHT THE WATER GOES ROUND IN THE SINK ANTI-CLOCKWISE THOUGH. LIKE, I PICTURED IT IN MY MIND AND THAT IS HOW IT WAS. AND JUST NOW I WENT TO CHECK AND IT DOES GO ANTI-CLOCKWISE. AND I AM NORTH OF THE EQUATOR, AREN'T I? GOSH, YO. PLEASE EXPLAIN. DO I LIVE IN A HOUSE WITH ABNORMAL WATER? OR AN ABNORMAL SINK?

Stop signs are octagonal, not round! Naughty Puck!

I'm pretty sure our water goes down the sink anti-clockwise too.

REALLY, YO? GOSH, I THOUGHT THEY WERE ROUND AND RED. BUT I DON'T DRIVE, SO I TOTALLY DON'T PAY ATTENTION!

HOWEVER, I TOTALLY HAD A BATH AND WATCHED THE WATER GO DOWN THE PLUGHOLE, AND IT DID INDEED GO CLOCKWISE. MAYBE SINKS ARE DIFFERENT FROM BATHS.

North of the equator it goes clockwise. South of the equator it goes counter-clockwise (or as you call it, anti-clockwise).

I looked that up after I said that, and APPARENTLY it all depends on some scientific explanation I can't understand. lol

So here's the link http://www.snopes.com/science/coriolis.asp

So our (my) teachers were wrong!!!!!!!

AHA - SO IT RELATES TO CYCLONES BUT NOT TO SINKS, BECAUSE WATER DRAINS FROM SINKS IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS (AS I TOTALLY FOUND WHEN I TRIED IT, YO!). IT DEPENDS ON THE SHAPE OF THE SINK. THIS IS A RELIEF, YO!

The merry-go-round at my local mall goes clockwise. I am positive. :(

AND GOSH, DON'T YOU HAVE BOXES FULL OF LOTS OF MATCHES, LIKE WE HAVE IN THE UK, YO? I HAVE A BOX OF MATCHES AND IT DOESN'T SAY HOW MANY ARE IN IT, BUT I'D SAY AT LEAST 100, YO!

I got 19.

Some of them aren't really fair. How many matches? I don't know .. I'm not a smoker, LOL

I'M NOT A SMOKER EITHER, YO, BUT I HAVE MATCHES TO LIGHT MY SCENTED CANDLES. BUT THE NUMBER OF MATCHES IN MY BOX WAS NOT AN OPTION!

I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW ANY SMOKERS WHO USE MATCHES - THEY ALL USE LIGHTERS, YO. BOXES OF MATCHES ARE QUITE OLD FASHIONED NOW.

We do have boxes of matches. But we also have little "packets" of matches.

AND THE CORDS ON ALL MY BLINDS THAT OPEN THE SLATS ARE NOT ON THE SIDE THAT THE NAUGHTY QUIZ SAYS THEY ARE ON, YO! GOSH, YO! THAT IS A SILLY QUESTION - IT WILL SURELY DEPEND ON THE BLINDS AND WILL NOT BE THE SAME FOR EVERYONE.

Well it says Venitian blinds. Apparently those are different?! I didn't know either! And now I have to go check which way my water goes in the sink! Yep, mine goes counter-clockwise! What does the naughty test say?! Ohh it does lie!

AH YES, YO - I GOOGLED AND THOSE ARE HORIZONTAL AND MINE ARE VERTICAL. MINE ARE BETTER, YO. THOSE HORIZONTAL ONES ARE ALWAYS FALLING APART. THEY ARE A DREADFUL INVENTION.

AHA - YOUR WATER GOES COUNTER CLOCKWISE TOO. LIKE, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE, YO? HAS THE MAGNETISM OF THE WORLD CHANGED?

AHA. I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT. IF YOU TURN ON THE LEFT TAP (WHICH I USUALLY DO) IT GOES COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. IF YOU TURN ON THE RIGHT TAP, IT GOES CLOCKWISE. IF YOU FILL YOUR SINK FULL OF WATER AND THEN PULL OUT THE PLUG, THEN IT DOES INDEED GO DOWN CLOCKWISE (ALTHOUGH VERY FAST SO YOU HAVE TO WATCH VERY CAREFULLY, AND I AM STILL NOT 100% SURE).

I did that! I filled my sink and it was still counter-clockwise. That quiz is a failure.

YES, YO! BAD QUIZ! A GOOD QUIZ WOULD HAVE RECOGNISED THE POWERZ OF OBSERVATION OF THE GREAT PUCK AND DECLARED ME THE MOST OBSERVANT PERSON ON THE PLANET!

HEHE - I LOVE HOW THE QUIZ INSTRUCTIONS SAY 'THIS IS BASED ON U.S. INFO, SO USE ALL LOBES OF YOUR BRAIN'. LIKE, DOES THAT MEAN THAT IF IT WAS USING INTERNATIONAL INFO, OR THE INFO OF A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, THEN CERTAIN LOBES WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE USED? LIKE, AS IF HERE IN THE UK, WE DON'T BOTHER WITH CERTAIN LOBES, YO! ;D

I got 12... but some of the answers I gave would have been correct in aus... IE my Fan goes the other way! lol
