I scored 20 out of 25. It's about observations that many people take for granted.

What's your score?

Smokers will always know this. There's one match for each cigarette in a pack.

Most smokers don't carry wooden packs of matches. The paper ones are handed out for free with a pack of cigarettes. ;)

They're worth less then free, IMO. They should pay you to take them.

Plus, gotta love that woody smell.

Matches don't get handed out with cigarettes. (Standard pack of matches is 50 anyway)
Hotdog buns come in packs of 6, not 8.
Cardmakers logo is on the joker.. not the ace of spades.

I'm with turbosauce on this one, quiz is geared to North Americans.
I only got 17 right

Got 20, but pissed that I didn't properly read the lowest WHOLE number on the FM dial question. Most start at 87.9, so I hit 87 instead of 88.

I got twenty.

And the hot dog buns one was easy.

Why do they sell buns in packs of 8 and hot dogs in packs of 10? It's a conspiracy...

to make it work out so you get an even match, you would have to buy 5 packs of buns and 4 packs of hot dogs.... making 40 dogs..... nonsense.

21. apparently I've never owned a standard car though- only owned 4lugs.
I should have remembered the VHF numbers, and the matches and FM were toss ups that I guessed wrong. I like the no-smoking sign question- I really thought it was the opposite, but because of the answers given, I went with the correct answer.

19. Forgot about no channel one on UHF, which is stupid because I've owned a bunch of UHF TVs.

And two are BS, even though I got them right. Fans turn whicheverdamnway they're designed to turn. And "average" cars have 4 lugs.

21/25 ... (missed two easy ones!) and I am not sure about the trademark on the Ace of Spades ... could have sworn it was on the Joker! :confused:

Missed the one about the matches (I guessed 32 - not knowing any better), and the no-smoking slash direction (dumb of me), the trademark (which I don't agree with), the number of VHF channels (forgot about the 1 not being a channel - remembered channel 13 being there!).

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.
