I received this little "Memory Test" from a younger friend, she scored a '12'. I took it and scored a '17' (I missed 4, 5, & 11) but I shouldn't have missed #11 cause I KNOW the answer but didn't read carefully--guess I really scored '18'. I'm blaming my high score on very culturally aware parents and my older siblings, who I'm sure would score a perfect '20'!!! Enjoy, and let me know your score in the comments!

I got 19 out of 20. I missed 11; thought Dillon said, "don't trust anyone over 40," not 30.
(oh, and I AM 52)
Me too--I thought it was 'over 40'. Hmmm, could it be that we 'remember' that version due our own frame of reference? :-)
I can't believe this, but the only one I missed was number 1. And I'm reasonably sure it's not truth in advertising anyway.
Ooh, wait a second! I just realized I missed number 13 too. I thought it was a dream.
i got a 14, fun fun that was. :)
Well...I'm 39 this year and I only missed one!!! And I still don't know what it is from. It was number 4.
So....that is what Cable TV will do for ya!!
annette: you can no longer be my 'friend'! Ha! :-)
clarissa: that is amazing! Not only are you mature beyond your years, you will REMEMBER these things much more easily and much longer than the rest of us! Ha! Clearly, I need to hang around you MUCH more!
I got a nine! I think that's pretty good for a sixteen year old.
