ummm ... nothing is happening

[edit] wait! I just changed my brouser. I'll tell you how I find it now-na-now

[edit x2] 13 out of 25

I got 18! I missed something really stupid. :p

I don't think it works with FireFox...

is this one of those things where you look really hard to see whats wrong with the picture, and like 30 seconds in this creepy face and loud noice make you shit your pants?

No....

It asks you questions about simple things in life.

I got 13 which is quite good seeing as I got most of the American based questions wrong

Doesn't work with Opera

I got 18 as well.

Yeah, but I only got 9.

The test is stupid. Unless, everything is backwards in america, then this must be wrong.

I was proud of myself for getting the "which way does the water drain" questions. I owe that knowledge to the Simpsons.

You own no knowledge from the simpsons only ignorance. http://www.snopes.com/science/coriolis.asp

This further proves the test was crap. You suspect the people would look it up for two minautes. I don't know since getting zero anwser correct, it might be that the test was to see if you could work out the test was crap. Also the question where they say what way does a fan spin was cheep, they didn't say whether you're perspective is the direction or the direction the fan really goes, which the standard fan is counter clockwise. Seriously if you scored high in this test, you're stupid or american, which I'm beginning to think they mean the same thing.

Sorry, for the cheep shot at americans, however it is the country with the highest supporters of ID and one of the lowest mathematical scoring country.

Aww wendylove.. I can always count on you.. you are so predictable. :p

agreed, haha.

Wendy's Thoughts: "Okay, so I got a low score on this test. In fact, I got a 0. Wait, doesn't that mean I'm stupid? This can't be happening. No! The TEST is stupid, not me! People who got low scores are the SMARTEST, and high scores make you stupid! Yes, that's right, you are all stupid, and I am smart! Haha!"

THANKYOU.

Don't know how true it is but:

I got 21 / 25 on my first try. All of them right on my second (obviously I just remembered all of the right answers. :p). I missed the hot dog bun one. In Canada there are twelve per bag, not eight. Some of them I definitely would not have known though, like the TV one, so it's not my fault.

12 "that's sorta ok"

Works for me

If you didn't get 0, your not intelligent. Well, 2 as the traffic light and the statue of liberty one was actually, not stupid.

Jesus wendy. What a way to... ah, nevermind.

Way to not be able to have a laugh at the Simpsons.

well, I watched my toilet flush the other day out of boredom, and it was definitly counter clockwise. bullshit question.

Also, I agree with the fallacy of the ceiling fan question. First of all, the blades are often situated differently between fans. Secondly, it depends if you want to suck air in (from a window) or blow air. It can go either (mine can, at least)

wendylove sounds a little bitter about this whole thing...:p

I got 17. This is complete BS though. For the question about which way the fans turn, the answer is not clockwise. Maybe in HIS house the answer is clockwise, but in my house it's counterclockwise. Therefore, I should have gotten 18.

lol if you don't believe me, I can take a video of it.

I got a 21. I'm mad about missing the unfair matches question, since I don't smoke and never look at matchbooks.

I also knew that toilet flush direction was a myth, but I was smart enough to know in which direction the myth claimed it went.

19, baby! But dammit, the times I have had match books, they had more than 20 matches. And my women wear T-shirts!

Americans learn that in school, and we have a lot of commercials that talk about policies that are good in "all 50 states".

1. The poor soul who knows and believes the myth of the flush direction would get the question right.

It's not a myth. If you pull a plug in a bathtub in the northern hemisphere, the water goes down clockwise. If you do the same thing in the southern hemisphere, the water goes down counterclockwise. Science textbooks talk about it. There is even a scientific name for the phenomenon-- the Coriolis effect.
