Hello Everyone smile.gif

Try this test

It is a pretty cool thing - Its called the "Think Test" I got 19-25 questions right - some of these may be stupid questions, but you'd be surprised

Have Fun, and post your score here wink.gif

I got only 12 right! laughing.gif There were questions like the one with the FM dial where I got confused or the No Smoking sign question. Also I confused some basic things that I am pretty ashamed of blushing.gif

Same here. I didn't wait, but used FF's IETab. It's a strictly only IE Engine type page.

19 of 25.

17 out of 25, but I seriously think this one needs a bit more slack (it could be either way, depending on which way you switch it laughing.gif) So really I should have 18, because my guess was apparently wrong.

Which way fan rotates depends on which side you are looking at it. Wonder if you could convince someone that direction of rotation depends on whether they and the fan are in the Northern or Southern hemisphere? tongue.gif

Actually, the water drain part was incorrect. It doesn't matter on which side of the hemisphere you are, the water is always going to drain clock-wise.

It depends on your sink model, actually.

Really? I've seen this on a program... I can't recall how it's called, it's with Richard Hammond though (the one from TopGear)... *Googles* Brainiac. I remember they called up someone in Australia and asked him if the water goes the opposite way.

How can you scientifically explain it depends on the sink model?

I just checked and in my kitchen sink it goes clockwise.

Edit: Thought I'd better try my laundry sink. The kitchen sink has the plughole on the left of the bowl which might account for the flow direction. The laundry has the plughole in the middle. It went counterclockwise and seemed to switch to clockwise ohmy.gif
