Default OT: fun test

x-no-archive: yes

I got a 16. If I hadn't second guessed myself twice, I would have
gotten 18.

18 for me - but some of the ones I got "wrong" were based on US v UK
things. (e.g. matches in a standard "pack", symbols on a touchtone
phone keypad).

I got 20, but some of the items were... arbitrary. It really is
amazing how you can look at something a thousand times and not
encoded it. Or maybe it's amazing that you can look at
something and NOT encode it, and still be able to reconstruct the
memory.

Some people do swing their same-side in sync.

Water can circle a drain clockwise or counterclockwise both north
and south of the equator. http://www.snopes.com/science/coriolis.asp

If you didn't remember the direction of the slash on a no-smoking
sign, you could figure it out from the alternatives given (two
describe the same line)

A 20-something would be at a great disadvantage in answering the
VHF television dial question, and might pause to wonder why that
matrix of numbers on a phone is called a "dial." On the other
hand, the texting generation should have no problem knowing what
numbers are paired with what letters (at least, the ones who
texted before cell phones contained keyboards.).

Are there STILL 10 hot dogs in a standard package but only 8
buns? (I haven't eaten hot dogs for years.)

It's been too many years since I smoked to remember # of matches
in a pack... thought now I do remember being annoyed that there
weren't more matches than cigarettes in a pack.

I got "venetian blinds"correct, but it was a struggle - I ordered
mine custom, and got both the rod and the cords on the same side.

And I had NO IDEA that there were more than 4 colors on a
Campbell's soup can!

I got 19. Shows how bad my memory is. I have taken this before.

21 out of 25. Finally had a chance to give this a try. Some things I got
wrong because a) Campbell's soup isn't common in Norway, b) the last
Venetian blinds I had had both rod and cord on the right side, c) which
way the slash goes on a no-smoking sign always eludes me, and d) the
last time I looked at a US television with a VHF dial was in 1981; in
Norway, there _is_ a channel one on the dial.
