@Butrflynet,
Ahem. I was told to go study.
I didn't catch on that they gave the answer after you clicked a choice, making me even dumber than a doornail.

@farmerman,
The ones that were total guesses based on elimination of the other choices were the correct ones. The ones I thought I knew the answer to were totally off the mark.

They slipped in a lot of red herrings to make it more difficult.

@Butrflynet,
Yeah, that test is part of the Lumosity site, too. Gotta love that site as it has plenty of good brain exercises on it.
