How common is common knowledge? (fun test) - Page 3 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I got 21. I do have to agree that some are debatable. In my parking lot almost all of the cars have 4 lug nuts (the only exception is that my truck has 6).

viveleroi0 · 05-23-2003, 12:14 PM

8 right

ND_Ranger · 05-23-2003, 11:36 PM

26/29. Damn Dwarves, I've never seen the movie, so I have no idea.

I got 29 wrong. I kept thinking of the merry-go-round in the local playground which is kid powered and it goes both ways.

Cambell's soup cans? How the hell does this qualify as general knowledge? Sounds like brand favoritism to me.

I got 18/29. that was fun and my score was very surprising

Heh, Heh... I'm a smartass who got 27 of them right - including the trick question, No.2. The correct answer is 48. Even this humble Scot knows that there are currently 48 States in the actual American Union, 2 commonwealths, and the District of Columbia.

One more - which of the 48 American state flags has the British Union Flag on it?

madsenj37 · 05-25-2003, 04:16 PM

19 for me.

neilz0r · 05-25-2003, 04:42 PM

i got 16, but most of the ones i got wrong were about the USA
do you really belive everyone in the world knows that there's 50 states?

arael · 05-25-2003, 05:16 PM

21.. i guess that's not bad

txstar · 05-25-2003, 10:52 PM

I got 20 right. Guessed correctly on a few like the license plate and the matches.

mls639 · 05-26-2003, 12:34 AM

Got 18. If I didnt know I didnt guess.

I ended up with 22... there must be too much US television here in Australia!

I got 17. I love these tests. It makes you wonder how little we pay attention to the things we take for granted.

18. Fans can go either way, Merry go round can go either way. Never had a VHF Tv, Never pay attention to the radio that low. :P

16. some surprises, but who the hell would think the layout of a NY plate is common knowledge anyway? A few others were what I would consider uncommon as well.

Casdin · 05-28-2003, 01:04 AM

I got 22 right. But some of these are arguable.

Still, a fun test!
