I got 21 out of 25. I could have gotten 22, but I was on a roll and answered one question without really thinking about it.  :-[ ;D

i got fifteen. i also have a few issues with it...

1. i am not an american, i know very little about american trivia
2. fan rotation depends on how you wire them. their fan question was not precise.
3. there is no "standard" size bag of hot dog buns. my "standard" is a bag of 12.
4. i have owned a set of venetian blinds and the cord was on the right hand side, not the left
5. i have been on a merry-go-around, and it went both ways...

I think they were talking about normal everyday household fans (that's the way most people would look at it, I think). Not the ones that electricians (like yourself) go around modifying.
Standard bags of hot dog buns in the US is 8.
Maybe the blinds you had were not actually venetian blinds. :P
The Merry-Go-Rounds I've been on went clockwise, the test said they go counter-clockwise.


The fourth time I took the test I got a much better score. :D

I got 16 of 25...missed a couple I should've known.

Homer is right -- some questions are problematic, no matter your country of residence!

The lug nuts on the wheels...heck, I've seen cars with only four lug nuts per wheel!  :o
(Cheap bastiges.)  I want to think that when I was a kid, there may have been eight.

In other words, there was no pattern to the answers.

Another thing, the link seems to be down. How did you get to it?

what the <censored>

posting for the sake of boosting your post count isn't really considered a good reason to post.
What new material did you bring to the now dormant conversation? None.

Heck, there isn't even a context for your profane outburst.

I thought that all of the "off topic" posts didn't go towards your post count.
And who the heck thinks that H-E-double hockey sticks is a cuss word?


not that I'm defending Tyler but...

good points. And I couldn't see the censored word, all I got was <censored> which I hadn't seen before. I thought it was more profane... I could have sworn I disabled the setting for censoring...

the fact still remains,

You're right. There was no reason for Tyler's post.

To see all the cuss words: Click on Profile and then select Look and Layout Preferences. Make sure there is a check next to Leave words uncensored.

All consdiering it isnt but however, if one was said to go there.  Although, considering its considered bad in one religon caused it to be dissued cause the population in American was that majority.

I think they used to have four, but then they upped it to eight when they realized that almost everytime somebody changed a flat, they lost one of the nuts.

It was for safety's sake ;)
