12/11 You guys missed a question.

That was fun. I had to guess how many outs in an inning, since I have no clue. But I happened to be right.

So 11/11.

Ha! Me, too. :) I was reading that one so carefully looking for the trick that I missed the actual trick.

Darn Moses got me too! When I asked (after) around the house it got everyone so I don't feel so bad.

10 out of 11. I missed the how many outs in an inning. Lucky I even knew what an inning was. I hate baseball.

Now try the awareness tests. As photographers we are supposed to be observant, right?

I didn't really understand the Moses - Ark one, or what it had to do with this test. Most of these questions were 'riddles', but this question had nothing to do with that, and more to do with actual fact-knowledge.

So that would be like the 'Outs' in an 'innings' when it didn't even state which sport it was talking about.

I assumed cricket - it seems they meant baseball :- )

The "Moses" question is a test of comprehension, to see if one is really paying attention, or skimming along and filling in gaps between "highlight" words:

"How many animals of each sex did take on the ark?"

Many people recognize the less-common highlighted words and, since members of all three abrahamic religions are familiar with the story, simply see a "Biblical name" in the proper grammatical location and fail to see that it's the wrong name. Similar to the "Marry his sister's widow ..." question.

I thought there were three outs per side in each inning in cricket also?

But only Moses and baseball require knowledge that isn't necessarily universal. The rest can still be deduced logically but with Moses, very specific religious information is needed.
Even if you didn't know what a "pill" might be, you could still figure out the number of minutes. If you don't know who Moses is logic isn't going to help you one whit.
