The average person only gets 7 right.
This is based on U.S. info, so use all lobes of your brain. This can be more difficult than it looks - it just shows how little most of us really see!
There are 25 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– it just
shows you how little we pay attention to the commonplace
things of life.
Put your thinking caps on. No cheating! No looking around! No
getting out of your chair! No using anything on or in your desk or
computer!
Can you beat 15?? It is nearly impossible for any normal person to get higher than a 15 (The average is 7). Write down your answers and check answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all t he questions.
REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!! BE HONEST!!! That means no looking at your phone or anything on your desk…

p.s. IBloon, I put this in notepad to remove the html but I donno why the text is grey??? :-/
And exactly how is this useful? gVim…delete? Ludicrous….AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
YOU’VE INSULTED ME AND EVERYTHING I STAND FORAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It’s not useful. Just fun. Just because you didn’t get any correct, Micro…
You can’t prove that.
Lol… Nice chick. First: I saw “how many states” and I gave up. Second: it was grey because you posted it as a aside. Only use asides for small things like links. Not big huge quizzes. I fixed it.
It’s frightening how many people don’t know that there are 52 states in the US. Come on, they teach you this in Kindergarten at the latest.
I got 17 right. The ones I didn’t get were: 3,4,9,11,12,13,17, and 19.
Please tell me 7 really isn’t average, and everyone got above 15.
I don’t wanna be a smart kid that everybody hates. =[
Er… I got 7 and I’m not even American but I put 52 states down… does that mean I actually got 8 right?
Ha, of course not, there are 48 states.
Butt… It says there are 50 states…
It’s a mistake, didn’t you learn anything in Elementary school? 48 states.
I’m canadian. We dont know our american shit.
you should, you’re americas little brother
i got 12, which i am perfectly happy about that
p.s. did anyone know that the lowest FM number is 87.7 ? i put 90
what a stupid system!
So, SomeRandomGuy, I’m assuming you’re not American?
no
how ever could you tell??
…Nevermind. Where are you from, anyway?
Europe.
commense guessing.
“Commence,”
and it’s OK, that’s good enough for me.
ha
really? no subtle mocking about europeans, or a flawed stereo-type being thrown out? im amazed!
Ah, you must have missed it then.
hahaha
so where do you hail from, bird call boy?
“Bird call boy”?
yes
i believe the term was originally used by BloonBlade, that made the correct observation that if you say Aneesh very high pitched and draw it out, it sounds quite similar to a bird call
or does your brain wipe things that you dont agree with/ like?
…I’m sorry, I do not remember that.
ah, well, an elephant never forgets?
:/?
:/? What on earth is that supposed to be?
what on earth are you supposed to be??
Something that makes more sense than :/?.
thsfrargegw..
That’s lovely.
indeed
Quite.
of course
Indubitably.
I knew, i absolutly knew, that would be the next.
unfortunatly, I can think of no more..prehaps you should continue by yourself?
Most certainly.
Jeezus… You guys are amazing, both of you, e-mail me. Check the \”bloon.bios\” link in the header for my e-mail. (under ibloon)
Thanks for specifying which tab, I almost e-mailed The Bloon Blade by mistake…
Lol, I was just making sure. Bejoinkers.
Ok, I tried the quiz and I got 11… Oh well.
Damn I’m such a ‘tard everyone scored higher than me ¬_¬
It’s because you use kate.
That must be it….
Noname. You got 17 right?? JESUS! haha that’s like 4 more than me but it seems like a ton more haha
I believe that noname was lieing…
I use Kate…
Its actually very very nice. I love my new Ruby on Rails dev settings. Kate on one side, terminal on the other… Oh wait, whats that? I dont need any more open windows! Because of kates awesome ftp filebrowser. Me=love.
Let me guess, you don’t even use xterm? You disgust me…
Kate is one of those programs that people use because they’re new to the world and don’t know better. Like a little puppy who hasn’t open its eyes yet. But he’s still a good dog. Yes he is, yes he is.
Kate’s the best thing that ever happened to me… as you can see, I lead a very sad life
Kate is for noobs.
Kate is a girls’ name
Ahh bloon chick with your innocent comments… One day you too will discover linux and broaden your knowledge of the world around you.
In other news, Fyorl you ought to have something that is awesome that has happened to you…. Let see… Birth? Thats always good. Uhh… What else… Sex? :)…
Lol, if kate is for noobs, and kate is a girls name… Then the girl kate is for noobs? Noobs at what?
No. No. I will never discover whatever linux or broaden is.
Broaden?? Wtf?
“One day you too will discover linux and broaden your knowledge of the world around you.”
Its a verb meaning “To learn more about” or “To get bigger in the horozontal plane” It is commonly used in the phraise “Broaden your horizons”…
Chick… ENGLISH
Ouch, you spelt ‘phrase’ wrong. Micro’s gonna have your balls for that.
Oh and micro, what are you trying to imply exactly? I’m 16, that’s just the legal age to have sex. Does that mean I should go out and do it to prove a point?
HAHA DUDE! It’s been a long day of babysitting for celebrities. You know how it is. I was tired -_-
Haha… He just wants you to start screwing kate and using Vim…
Lol chick I understand… A hard day of babysittin… Making $100 from it too… Lucky duck.
Phrase Phraise, tomato, tomato.
Oh Bloony. You and I both know that $100 is only for an hour or two of work… And you know, since I had to go to the training camp too, I get that extra moolah
V_v… Chick, thats what I was saying… Your all like “blah blah babysitting blah blah it made me tired blah blah blah”… So i was like poking fun on just how “HARD” it is.
Oh well, I guess your still tired.
Well despite being a lot richer, I still had to wake up hellishly early!
Like 8?
Yeah.
But today I had to wake up @ 5:30 for tennis!! That’s harsh!
i got 15
woopdeedo
Oooo That is alittle early. But still, you choose to do it. So you have to question your sanity.
I got 12!! Yay, 1 more that ibloon!
You spelled than wrong. Fool.
Great, you\’re an American.
I am so glad. And you are so smart… Gosh… I should look up to my little sis.
Ouch, that’s gonna look bad. Telling someone else they spelt something wrong and then spelling “you’re” wrong yourself is never a good way to make an example…
Look, I changed it to appease you. But, I actually spelled it like “your” because with the “you’re” it adds in a \. So there!
Lol… Wow, ever since Micro and Random are gone, the comments have trickled into nothingness. Comment more peeps!
It’s depressing.
But mainly because we have…how many steady commenters?
7?
That’s something we should work on.
lol. We are getting there.
Yer, I’ve noticed that extra backslash. FIx it.
Lol, nah… I am seriously too lazy. And it would require me to stop working on some other projects. So I shall leave it for now.
Yeah. But 7 commenters is more than we’ve HAD!!
It would require you to stop work on stuff just to fix an extra backslash? Is this blog coded in brainfuck or something (yes, that’s an actual programming language, look it up on wikipedia)
Just goes to show how far we’ve come!
Woooooooooooooooooooooo!
Lol! Haha… This is true.
Blah.
