How observant are you?

Niether am I. Got 12 right. But I think I came up on top because I found them wrong on one answer! I let other take the test and then will post it.

 

[RogerD]

12 also

 

[NorthStar]

Got 19, but I'm sick; should have gotten 22.

P.S. Got 25 on a "Try Again".

Bob, did you get the campbell soup right?

Bob, did you get the campbell soup right?

Yes I did Roger.

Just got 21..

Got soup wrong, drain, VHF dial, book pages

16 . Not bad given how US - centric the questions are

I knew I shouldn't have been truthful in my answer . Worse news is that when I post the wrong answer in the test, it will boost your score too!

I got 21

 

[Johnny Vinyl]

I got 20 out of 25 for a score of 21

 

[audioguy]

I only got 15. The person that sent it to me got 20 but I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is "observationally challenged".

I would never have figured out the Campbell Soup answer (short of going to our pantry and cheating).

If our visual memories are so far less than perfect, I wonder what our audio memories are like?

20. I was lucky on several I answered by chance, but not on the soup colors or hot dogs.

BTW, the answer labeled as correct to the water drain is false ... It is a common misconception - not an exclusive of audio reproduction ...

 

[Steve williams]

I guessed on the Campbell Soup one but guessed right

I guessed on the Campbell Soup one but guessed right

And I guessed wrong! I was convinced it had no BLUE. I was wrong, so now I am.

Boy are we anal! Most people after being asked the time. Look at thier watch and answer. When asked again immediately can't remember.

Now that enough people have taken it, it asked what is the first number on FM dial. I said 87, it said 88 was true. This is wrong. FM frequencies start at 87.5. To wit, on my FM radio app on my Droid, it also starts with 87.5. Maybe old fashioned dial radios have 88 written on them. I don't know. I am a digital guy and an engineer, so details matter to me! OK, maybe not after missing all the other questions I answered quickly out of the need to not waste time!!!

It asked for lowest whole number!

I am sorry but I am not good with detail like that .
