Impressive work! Youโve got some smarts on mysterious-looking items! How the fudge nuggets did you even recognize some of these?! Youโre all about figuring out what you are looking at in life whether itโs an object or a person. If your friends were smart, they wouldnโt try to pull a fast one on you because chances are, youโll 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.
