Test your brain power...
I posted a test on my blog at www.thesouthernlad.blogspot.com go test your brain power and see how you do.

I hope you are all having a fantastic day.

I scored an 18 on the test out of 27. It's a brain power test.

1. You beat me by one...
but I noticed a 'wrong' answer in the answer section. Question #5 is 2 numbers (1 & 0) but it says just 1.

3. Also the fan question.....
answer depends if you are using to distribute heat or cold. Most fans can be set for either direction.

5. Nice quiz
I just have 2 issues and one problem

Problem > #5 needed 2 answers and only one is given.

Issues
#14- fan rotation-depends on if you have it set to blow in or out, or celing fan, up or down

#10 Water down the drain. The coriolis effect does not matter on small scale events, the direction is a function of the shape of the sink and the movement of the water before the drain is opened

8. Thank you!
The fan thing is being debating. I never thought that it really does have two answers.

9. 19!
I missed the canadian money ones. I thought Lady Liberty was a lefty. I've never changed a tire in my life...and a couple others I just messed up.

10. I got a shocking 18
No fair on the Canadian questions. Technically the answer for #4 is four since labels are printed using the four-color process system (CYMB) but who am I to argue.

13. I got 20
No fair on Canadian money questions! ;)

Do I get partial credit for #4 (5/6 right) and #22 (Ace, not Ace of spades?)

That was neat, thanks!

20. Your welcome...
I can't give you partial credit for #4, but #22 was the same way I answered and I counted it.

16. Strange marketing....
hot dogs come in packs of 10 but the buns are only 8. I've thought this was so strange for many years.
