I got 10 wrong which means I got 15 right. ( The cup is half full hee hee )

Honestly though I would have gotten 11 wrong had I not cheated and asked my husband how many lug nuts there are on a car wheel.

Two of those questions that I had to count as wrong, I got half of the question right - the phone question ( I got the # right ) and the campbell soup can. I thought it was green and not blue. Serves me right for concentrating on eating the soup instead of studying the can. LOL
