The test should factor time into account. I refused to eat any soup as a kid, so the Campbell's soup can was a problem.

Well, you can either add or subtract one, depending on how you answered this:
"Which way does water go down the drain, counter or clockwise?" (north of the equator) [] Counter Clockwise [] Clockwise [] Straight down

Yeah, that bothered me, too. I knew the answer the test was looking for, but it's a stupid question.

The question remains how did you answer the question?

Weather and drains in the top half rotate the same way. Think of a screw stuck in the ground. A low pressure area is air moving up. It has to move counter-clockwise to move up. High pressure (air descending), or water going down a drain, has to move clockwise to go down. Easier than soup, and I don't smoke (matches).

I answered "Straight down", since "none of the above" wasn't an option. Result:
Wrong! [which I expected] Clockwise. (north of the equator) [which I found amusing]
They even got wrong, wrong.

Reminds me of the movie, "Yahoo Serious." In it they answer the question - Jokingly...
What is commonly refered to as the Coriolis Force (the force resulting from the Earth?s spin) is a couple orders of magnitude too small to affect the spin of a drain.
But if it weren't the water would travel counterclockwise.
They should have added a forth option, "The direction the jets are pointed in the toilet bowl."

Actually, it was the movie, "Young Einstein", starring Yahoo Serious. My bad... You know you're a sick puppy when you argue with yourself.

But I'll have to admit cheating on the first phone question, it was sitting between me and the keyboard and I have never been all that great with minor temptations.

My nitpicks were with the fan, the question doesn't state whethere looking at it from the endcap or the blade end, and I would bet that the "standard" number of wheel lugs is probably now 4 rather than 5. I did get both of those questions right though.

I think you're wrong about that.

I've heard teachers spout that crap about the water rotation. People will believe anything.

Also, the Campbell's' soup question is unreasonable, it assumes you actua= lly
Hear, hear! I don't even like the design of the label.
