How observant are you?

Power of Observation: A quiz about things you see every day. (http://www.oldjoeblack.0nyx.com/thinktst.htm)

Hard to believe the average person only gets seven right.

So how did you do? I got 20/25. :clap:

[citygirl]

17 of 25.

[JMC]

17 outta 25

[fuzzis]

20/25! :clap:

[R1ZOOM]

16/25

[luvnlife]

15 outta 25.

[ComputerDude]

17 out of 25

Couldn't get the test to work in Firefox either.

[g8rfan]

I got 17 too!

[Honey]

19/25. Not fair about the tire question.

[Southern_Belle]

i got 22/25. but the lug nut one was a guess. so really i knew 21/25.

[XC9]

20 out of 25 but 2 were right that was only a guess on my part. Dang, I missed the traffic light one so I thought I would fail this test bad after getting the first one wrong. Since I guessed on 2 I consider getting only 18 right. Visualization helped with most, especially the paperclip and merry-go-round.

[wilebill]

jkspatty was right. I got 22.

[pinkytuscadero]

I only got 13.:smt009 I've got to stop sniffing the White Out at work.

[luvnlife]

I only got 13.:smt009 I've got to stop sniffing the White Out at work.

I was beginning to wonder if I was gonna have the lowest score!:-D

It's ok Pinky I probably really only made a 13, cuz a couple of my right answers were guesses!:smt023

[Scarlett O'Hara]

17/25..................you'd think I'd know where the dang trademark on a card is by now, wouldn't ya!!!

[pinkytuscadero]

17/25..................you'd think I'd know where the dang trademark on a card is by now, wouldn't ya!!!


I haven't seen a trademark on a MH Casiner card.

[Scarlett O'Hara]

That's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's why I missed that question!!!!!! I demand a replay!!!

[EricStratton]

16....the woman's blouse question was tricky.....when I'm unbuttoning a woman's blouse, the buttons are on my right....

[Echo Four Bravo]

21/25, do I win something?

[phmom]

17/25 yeah me!

[SueScribe]

24 of 25. Gotcha. I thought stop signs had eight sides. But then, who's worryin' about stop signs?

No time for stop signs when one is "luxuriating in the comtemplation of tomorrow"....

Yeaas-ssss, lawd.

[SueScribe]

My favorite was the Campbell's soup can question. Is their brand truly that recognizable? Must be. Imagine what a politician could do with that brand recognition . . .

P. S. That's the best avatar I've seen on MH, hands-down.

[BayFly]

20 out of 25 but doesn't a merry go round go clockwise

[luvnlife]

20 out of 25 but doesn't a merry go round go clockwise

I thought so..:smt102

[Honey]

No the little horses are facing to the right.

[luvnlife]

thus going clockwise.....right?

[EricStratton]

Yeaas-ssss, lawd.

Quiet....my wife is down the hall!

[Honey]

No they going six o'clock, three o'clock, one o'clock. They going to the right.

[EricStratton]

Sexist piglet. :smt118 Mr. Cool. Mr. Romeo. :smt118

You know I was kidding, Sue....I don't unbutton blouses with my hands...

[luvnlife]

Hmmmm...maybe I ride em' backwards...:-D

[BayFly]

No the little horses are facing to the right.


What does that mean? It's a circle and I think it rotates to right

[SueScribe]

20 out of 25 but doesn't a merry go round go clockwise

Absolutely not. Unless, you're sitting backwards on the pony/camel/dinosaur.

And, I suppose the sense and sight of a carousel's direction might be influenced by street drugs, two straight-shots of Tequilla, or . . love, perhaps.

[Honey]

I could be so wrong.

[Honey]

If you put your watch on the floor then you can see what I talking about.

[luvnlife]

I could be so wrong.

I could be so riding them backwards!:-D

[luvnlife]

If you put your watch on the floor then your can see what I talking about.

That's ok Honey, I belive you.

[EricStratton]

Absolutely not. Unless, you're sitting backwards on the pony/camel/dinosaur.

And, I suppose the sense and sight of a carousel's direction might be influenced by street drugs, two straight-shots of Tequilla, or . . love, perhaps.

You're making me blush, Sue....

[SueScribe]

What does that mean? It's a circle and I think it rotates to right

"Barfly". That may explain your perception. Just an observation. No pun nor harm intended.

You know I was kidding, Sue....I don't unbutton blouses with my hands...

:smt037 . . stop. I'm too aged for this . . imagery.


Quiet....my wife is down the hall!

*Sue waves hand over MH topic* Your wife is not down the hall. You're not even married *Waves hand again*. There's nothing down the hall, now: Go about your business.

[BayFly]

O.K. Honey if it going 6 to 3 to 1 it going counter clock wise , it's has been long time since i been on one I don't know so I will just let it go.

[luvnlife]

Absolutely not. Unless, you're sitting backwards on the pony/camel/dinosaur.

That's it Honey.....the two straight shot of tequilla got me riding backwards!!! Giddy-up:-D

[SueScribe]

O.K. Honey if it going 6 to 3 to 1 it going counter clock wise , it's has been long time since i been on one I don't know so I will just let it go.

I have NO idea what Chicago Transit Authority has to do with this in-depth look at Merry-Go-Counter-Clockwise-Rounds, but I'll put the tune on and see if I'm following your point.

[EricStratton]

Damn...just like some women to bicker over petty crap like which way a merry-go-round twirls.....good gracious!

[SueScribe]

. . . Terry Kath. What a waste. . .

[BayFly]

The Barfly thing might be close to truth I have been quit drinking for 20 something years but it's been longer than that since I been on merry go round

[Honey]

Hey I wasn't bickering? At least you couldn't hear me if I was because someone was hollering something about TV's and TiKi bowls.

[luvnlife]

Damn...just like some women to bicker over petty crap like which way a merry-go-round twirls.....good gracious!

No bickering.....just adult conversation here....:laugh:

[SueScribe]

O.K. Honey if it going 6 to 3 to 1 it going counter clock wise , it's has been long time since i been on one I don't know so I will just let it go.

Therein lies your confusion. I ride carosels most nights, and every creature on them are unicorns.

[SueScribe]

As a mutual friend of Bill W's, I hear you.

Maybe that's what's missing in our collective American lives:

A long ride on a Merry-Go-Round, hanging far to the RIGHT to catch that Golden Ring. On the other hand, there may be something deeper to that idea than meets my shuttered eyes.

[EricStratton]

Therein lies your confusion. I ride carosels most nights, and every creature on them are unicorns.

Wow...you're as high as those people who created Reading Rainbow: "Butterfly in the skyyyy.....I can fly twice as hiiiiiiigh....take a look....it's in a book....it's Reading Rainboooow!"

[BayFly]

O.K. I am out, I been called a woman and bickering and somebody's riding unicorns, just a little to deep for me

[SueScribe]

Nite' Eric. Nite' Barfly. Nite' luvinlife. Nite Honey. Nite whomever I left out.

And, goodnight, Mrs. Calabash - wherever you are.

Sue

[SueScribe]

Wow...you're as high as those people who created Reading Rainbow: "Butterfly in the skyyyy.....I can fly twice as hiiiiiiigh....take a look....it's in a book....it's Reading Rainboooow!"

. . . yes, and I've seen warships off the coast of Orion . . .

[Honey]

Good night Ms. Sue.

[EricStratton]

Good night, Mrs. Robinson!

[Ted]

Therein lies your confusion. I ride carosels most nights, and every creature on them are unicorns. :smt001

Now she's walking
through the clouds
with a circus mind
that's running wild.
Butterflies and zebras
and moonbeams
and fairytales
That's what she's thinking about
. . . . . . . . . riding with the wind . . . . . .

I only got 13.:smt009 I've got to stop sniffing the White Out at work.And stop trying to use it to correct mistakes on your computer monitor.

Guess it depends, too, if you live in the UK. Everything runs clockwise there, even oranges. OR, whether the photo processing was printed in reverse.

[EricStratton]

Those pictures are not merry-go-rounds...

[SueScribe]

Good night, Mrs. Robinson!

This is a merry-go-round, and these youngsters seem to be going clockwise....

[firefly]

I got 22 out of 25!!!:woohoo:

[Conveyor Belt]

All I get is a green box with some stupid music...

[Ted]

All I get is a green box with some stupid music...Me too.
Two bars of ring tone noise repeating endlessly.

I just now clicked the link and went right to it. Want to try it again?

It first had a green page with a bar showing the % loaded, then went to the quiz page. The ring tone music played until I clicked "start the quiz".

[Conveyor Belt]

still got nothing.

[fuzzis]

I couldn't do it with the firefox. I had to go to the switch rendering engine option.

[Ted]

Go Ahead Fuzz!! :clap:

The merry-go-round got me - but I'm thinking I've seen both.
I forget what the other one was.

But I definitely know which side a ladies buttons are on. :-D

[luvnlife]

Those pictures are not merry-go-rounds...

I know, but we were talking about which way the horses face.
I think it kinda went from merry go round to carousels. Some people call them the same thing.:smt023

[MamaTyson74]

24/25 of course thats with my oldest boy looking over my shoulder and yelling out answers!!
