try this i got 18

9. But hey, I'm from Belgium. If you ask the Americans to answer 27 questions about Belgium, they will probably get 1 right.
The average american doesn't even know Belgium. They all know Brussels as the capital of Europe. But Belgium, nope...

14... And Im swedish so I think I did good :P

I got 20 right, good post.

got 15

i got 11 out of 19 cuz i didn't know the other 8 soo yea i am da best

nice test though is there a simmilar one NOT culturally based? The questions with campbell soup, hotdog buns or us money they are really hard to anwser if u don't live in the states. The Q about the flag or statue of liberty are OK though cause even if you are not from US you get to see it alot in the TV for example.

Got 15, though I'm from europe.

i got an 11

*feels stupid*

im not american though either so guess i'm partly excused

I'm smarter then I give myself credit for......16

14 right... the rest is impossible for a non-American:

2. How many states are there in the USA? (Don't laugh, some people don't know) [I don't, I didn't know. my guess was 52]
4. What six colors are on the classic Campbell's soup label? [never even heard of "Campbell's soup"]
7. How many matches are in a standard pack? [in Finland 45, but I had had it wrong anyway]
9. What is the lowest number on the FM dial? [is that some radio thingy?]
11. Which way does a "no smoking" sign's slash run? [is there just one kind?]
12. How many channels on a VHF TV dial? [now, please, they had those dials in the late 70's when I was born]
14. Which way do fans rotate? [should have known this]
15. What is on the back of a US Penny? [I don't think I've ever seen one]
20. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy,Dopey, Doc. Who's missing? [what are these, the seven dwarves?]
21. How many hot dog buns are in a standard package? ["standard package of hotdog buns"--damn you Americans are funny]
24. On the back of a $20 dollar bill, what is in the center? [I guess I've never seen one of these, either]
25. There are 12 buttons on a touch tone phone. What 2 symbols bear no digits? [# and * in all phones here, and that was my answer]
26. How many curves are there in the standard paper clip? [I counted the angles, got 8. haven't seen a paperclip for a while, though]

Of course, I don't remember ever seeing a phone with just 12 buttons. And I think the last time I saw a phone with a dial was in the 80's or the very first years of the 90's.

i got exactly 20... damn i feel dumb about some of the ones i missed....

23 .... and I swear that is without cheating!! Missed, what is the lowest number on FM, number of channels on VHF dial (MY GOD, how long has it been since ANYONE has seen one of those), number of sides on a standard pencil (WTF?), and the direction a FAN rotates (that one I disagree with... I have several fans that you can actually change the direction of the fan so it goes in either direction)!

As for being nationality BIASED... OMG, yes! If somebody said, here take this test on Sweden, Belgium, England, etc.., I would FAIL HORRIBLY! Although, the majority of questions are based on common things or objects... BUT, come on, Campbell's soup... or a U.S. penny or a package of HOT DOG BUNS... that is SO American, unless you have been to the US and had a cookout or eaten chicken noodle soup, how in the F would someone know that?

Just for the "shits and giggles" someone should make a similar test for their Nation?

question 16 is wrong

16. How many sides does a stop sign have?

answer eight?

wrong, its got the hexagon shape of 8 sides, but what about the front and back? don t they count as sides, so there is a total of 10 sides?

Water is a drain in teh southern half of teh world goes just the other way.

2. How many states are there in the USA? (Don't laugh, some people don't know)


i dont konw
i am from another country

my fan turn counter-clockwise, i only got 14.

Holy shit! I got all of them! I didn't even cheat. I must be some kinda freak. I'm going to cry in the freak room now.

And 10 is a trick question: water goes down in the direction based on placement of the spigot over the drain and of the design of the bowl. The myth that it is decided upon by hemisphere is just that, a myth. There isn't enough curvature at play to dictate all bowls everywhere. If the water enters the bowl with force from the left, it'll go one way. An identically shaped bowl, but with water jetting from the right would go the other.

This is only true in regards to synoptic-scale conditions, not in just your bathroom. For example: would it be less so at 1 degree north or south? Or how about on the equator?

/meteorologist and oceanographer

Yes obviously if you jet the water one way or another that will effect how it drains. The premise is that you don't interfere. I have seen video footage of a basin at the equator - move it a few feet north, it swirls one way. move it as far south, it swirls another. and right on the equator - THERE IS NO SWIRL. It looks freaky!
