NO LOOKING AROUND ON YOUR DESK\u2026<\/p>\n
Average person only gets 7 right.<\/p>\n
This is based on U. S. & CDN info, so use all lobes of your brain.<\/p>\n
There are 27 questions about things we see every day or have known about all our lives. How many can you get right? These little simple questions are harder than you think\u2013 it just shows you how little we pay attention to the commonplace things of life. Put your thinking caps on.<\/p>\n
No cheating! No looking around! No getting out of your chair! No using anything on or in your desk or computer! Can you beat 20??<\/p>\n
(The average is 7) ****************<\/p>\n
