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.

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

numbers are paired with what letters (at least, the ones who
texted before cell phones contained keyboards.).

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!
