Just for the record, there are no "whole numbers" on an FM dial. All FM channels end in odd decimals. I'm just glad I got the Statue of Liberty right lol

That doesn't mean the number isn't there. I see what you're saying- noone has a channel on an even tenth, but you can dial your tuner to a whole number, right? You just won't get anything but static. Still, the essence of the question was understandable, I think, even though I got it wrong.
Ace of spades traditionally has the trademark- you guys are just playing with too many nudey cards. Joking aside, some companies may have stopped doing that, but that was the traditional card.
"Fans" was a bit vague, since you can reverse most ceiling fans, maybe some other types as well. Plus, the quiz didn't specify from which angle until you answered the question, which was a bit unfair.
Overall, though- it was a good waste of 10 minutes or so.

I couldn't remember that one either. Fortunately the answers made elimination easy: "Up to the right" and "Down to the left" are the same thing. So it had to be the third option.
Ah, yes. :blush:

Yeah no kidding. Same here. I got 17 but I'm not into playing cards so I missed that one. And a "standard wheel" could have either 4 or 5 lugs. Here 4 lugs are most common - I missed that one and I sell wheels for a living.

22/25 I guessed on a couple and got them. Some of those "Standards" are BS. Like the Company isn't always on the Ace of spades. Some times its the back of every card instead.

this quiz was bogus. their questions were not specified correctly.
matches come in packs of 50, 100, and 200. (strike anywhere) next time say which matches!

I didn't get the FM radio or the UHF TV thing, even though I probably should have.

that one got me to.

it says pack, not book. stupid interweb...some of those questions can have a wrong "correct" answer.

I'm gonna kick old Joe Black in his old Joe balls for being a tard and not observing what's wrong with this quiz.

five. I've never seen a car with more than 5.

6 or more is usually reserved for trucks.

I want some wheels that only have one lug.

Those would be hot.

But yeah, the options were 5, 6, and 8, so even if you thought the answer was 4 (which it isn't, 5 lug is WAY more common) 5 would still be the logical choice. The only car I've ever seen with 6 is the dodge viper and I'm pretty sure thats because it uses (or at least the original did) the hubs from their full size truck parts bin.
