This is something Daniel sent to me. Normally I don't bother with this kind of crap but I thought that the result was interesting.
These are 25 questions about things we see everyday or have known about all our lives. The survey originally said that 7 is average but if it is I'm afraid. Naturally, the quiz is meant to be taken without cheating or looking things up.

4. What six colors are on the classic Campbell's soup label?

7. How many matches are in a standard pack?
8. On the United States flag is the top stripe red or white?
