I got 10 out of 18!
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.
