I got 19. I've never even seen Snow White. I'm not sure how THAT'S part of being observant. More like stereotypical (correct word?) on the test makers part thinking that EVERYONE has seen that movie.

14. Which way do fans rotate? CLOCKWISE AS YOU LOOK AT IT

Depends what season it is, during the winter mine go one way and during the summer they spin the other.



I did get 20 right though.

I was sent this again today....and this question said "oscillating fans...NOT ceiling fans"! Had I been on my toes when I posted this originally, I would have changed it to state that!
