Well, I got 21 out of 25, but....

Some of those questions would have been pertinent (relevant) 30 years ago, maybe.
But today, there are NO Classic Campbells Soup Cans left in our cupboards.
They changed the label, many years back.

VHF TV Dial? Who still has a TV with a Dial on it? I've not had one in many years.

Playing cards? Many people like me, don't own a deck of cards. So I couldn't even cheat and go look at them. Rolling Eyes

Water going down the drain? You only look at it when it DOESN'T go down at all. Then you say a few choice words and reach for the plunger or the bottle of Drian-O.

All in all it was a pretty good test, to see how observant you are.

Without looking at one, how many people actually know how many sides there are on a pencil. Who even has a pencil? I don't! I just sort of remember what they look like. Wink
By the way, many lead-pencils were round. Rolling Eyes

Cheers Mates!

The myth is also not true. See Bad Coriolis for a very detailed explanation.
