Impressive work! You’ve got some smarts on mysterious-looking items! How the fudge nuggets did you even recognize some of these?! You’re all about figuring out what you are looking at in life whether it’s an object or a person. If your friends were smart, they wouldn’t try to pull a fast one on you because chances are, you’ll figure it out as well. You enjoy the unknown, but also like solving mysteries. Chances are, if someone gave you a cue tip, three rocks, a marshmallow, and a piece of wood, you could build a house AND unlock a safety deposit box! You make good use of all things around you and that is one of your greatest gifts.

At least half of the items shown in this quiz were totally unknown at first glance. After that it was hit or miss as I guessed what they might have been. Some of them were just downright weird.
