20- at least three of those ask about "standard"....and there is no standard. I will curve myself to a 21.5
 
22 Missed the matches, water direction, and merry go round. Could've sworn the one I rode as a kid (Don't Look!) Pullen Park Carousel - Raleigh, NC went a certain direction. But in the pictures I found it looks like the animals are facing the other way.
 
19 - think I'll argue about the merry go round!
 
I got 21 out of 25 as well. Like LawGuy, I would argue some of those "standard" questions aren't so standard... I'll curve myself to a 22.5 /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
 
20 outta 25.
Missed; Matches, letters on rotary phone (haven't seen one in a while), Trademark card (never played that much) No smoking slash and # of channels on a VHF dial (been even longer since I've seen one of those)
not bad.. fun Quiz
 
24 out of 25. I missed the one about the soup can colors. I just guessed on the # of matches in a book and got lucky, so I can really only take credit for 23 of 25 that I was certain about.

21! Missed the matches,soup can, vhf channels and merry-go-round (I am sure the classic Asbury Park Gazebo ride went the other way-I remember coming around to snatch the ring with my right arm!!!)

I guess we all need to be humbled once in a while. I got 5 wrong or on the positive side, I got 20 right!!!

Thanks for humbling me. I think I'll just have to take Agatha for a drive to enhance my self-esteem.

But if you snatched it with your right arm (as we do here in Elmira on the Eldridge park carousel) then you are turning counterclockwise. Which was the correct answer according to the quiz. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
I.m not telling but it was between 13 and 15
