What was your score?

I got eighteen nineteen right here.
I missed the campbell soup. (We always buy dent and scratch)

Missed the lowest number on the FM dial. That's usually elevator music and I don't go there.

Missed the VHF TV tuner (Thinking UHF)

Stop signs and the women's blouses always got me in trouble (missed both of them question)--- but I do know the correct answer.

Missed that munchkin named Bashful. I put "Little Bubba"

I put "joker" for the trade mark ... We always played jokers are wild meaning they can be anything you want --- so in this case I will argure that the "wild joker" can be an ace of spades. Correct my score to 19.

18 with 5/6 on the Campbell's

19, although I think 88 is pretty darn close to 87.7. I guess it evens out though since I can't explain where I came up with all six colors for the soup.

Ok

I got 17 but the phone on my desk messed me up.

next to the 0 it says OPER

Guess thats what I get for cheating.

My result was 20 5/6ths.

I missed the right/left hand for Statue of Liberty.

I got 5/6 on the Campbell's soup can but wans't sure if the 6th color was blue or silver. I went with silver.

I got the answer right of 1 & 0 for the phone but think it should have an * for people who only said 1 since the 0 button usually has "Oper" on it.

No clue on the matches so I guessed with 21 thinking 3 rows of 7.

I too had 88 as the lowest FM number on the radio. CD aren't we right if you "round up"???

I also missed the VHF. I wrote 13 including the 1. Duh!

What's an "oper"???

Just kidding. Do they have "operators" any more?

got 13. i need to brush up on my dwarfs.

Dude, you're twice as smart as the average guy and you're the dumbest (except me ) guy on this site that took the test. Seriously, I would've gotten ALL of the questions right if I hadn't gotten the wrong answers by mistake! If 7 is average then we've got our own little baseball Mensa club go'in on here. Ben, I guess you and I are just going to have to keep that manure spreader unclogged an keep catchin them there little fish. How bout we go pay the little guys you been talkin bout a visit...
