12 out of 12. Seen most of the questions before. I’ve never liked the pills question. ---

I got 10. Missed the number of months with 28 days, and the baseball question. But to be fair, I don’t know how baseball goes, at all. ^^;; ---

The test must be taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes the ‘correct’ answer is wrong, e.g. in baseball not every inning has 6 outs. If the home team is winning in the middle of the ninth inning, don’t they stop the game right there? ---

7 out of 12. I figured there was a “trick” to each one, but I didn’t have the patience to actually read them all carefully. Meh. ---

Your Score You scored 10 out of 12 - You are smarter than the average bear! I misread the stamp q and I changed my answer from the right one to the wrong one for the divide 30 by half. :smack: ---

10 Apparently, I forgot what a widow is. Of course… the guy could’ve faked his own death to get to his wife’s sister. And… I forgot that not all of the answers are not numbers. ---

I hereby proclaim this test stupid. I _saw_ California Man (ain’t Pauly Shore just about the greatest?) and he had no wife. I found the question confusing and enraging. The only “dozen” I know is of the dirty variety, and I never quite got what was so dozy about those twelve guys anyway - and did that site accuse me of shoplifting? Hell, they even misspelled Basketball! …and what in the hells was that about the pills??? > [@](#): > > You scored 5 out of 12 - You are not from around here, are you? No. ☹ ---

11 out of 12. Got tripped up on the Moses question. I, too, was thinking of alternate definitions of the word “member,” but I still was pretty sure I wasn’t going to get it right. > [@Ross](#): > > I missed … the baseball one (I still don’t understand what I got wrong because baseball is Of Another World) In one inning of Baseball, _both_ teams get a chance to bat and to field. So in the first inning, Team A bats until they get three outs, then the teams switch, and Team B bats until they get three outs, and the inning ends. So each inning of baseball has six outs (except for the ninth, under certain circumstances). ---
