82. 17 out of 20 I wonder if I got the one about eye color wrong but I had seen several studies on this

Snip:

There is some evidence that people with blue eyes may be more intelligent, but there is no scientific consensus to support this claim:
A University of Louisville study found that people with blue eyes may be more studious, strategic, and focused than people with brown eyes. The study also found that people with blue eyes may perform better on exams.
A University of Louisville paper found that people with light eyes may perform better at behaviors that require delay, self-pacing, and non-reacting.

I didn't make a screen cap of them. You make selections directly spooky3 Oct 5 #45

You can take it over and over, but I can't figure out which one I missed because now I've got 20/20 correct. LeftInTX Oct 5 #58

Iirc, those are the answers I selected too. Nt spooky3 Oct 6 #68

I can't figure which one I got wrong originally. It's weird! LeftInTX Oct 6 #70

Re: Hyatt - it is across the board. Ms. Toad Oct 6 #103

Thanks for that info, robbob Oct 6 #108

I don't know - but my guess is that it was testing exposure to news. Ms. Toad Oct 6 #114

These are not the same questions that I had. sdfernando Oct 6 #109

What was your answer on the eye color question? I was reluctant to say yes but I'm sure I had seen studies saying Quixote1818 Oct 6 #83

Yes, on the quiz they call it false. spooky3 Oct 6 #84

Agree. I got the hotel bottel one wrong too but I stay in hotels for work all the time. Quixote1818 Oct 6 #89

The Hyatt thing was in the news. So, I guess it was an "info" question. LeftInTX Oct 6 #94

All of them were, but it may not be appropriate to assume that spooky3 Oct 6 #111

The question was "CLEARLY". Not based on one study. LeftInTX Oct 6 #93

Yeah, I should have gone with my gut feeling. I was probably more inclined to believe the limited studies becaues Quixote1818 Oct 6 #95

Oh yeah. I stayed at boutique hotel called Hotel Indigo LeftInTX Oct 6 #115

I don't recall the specific wording of the question Ms. Toad Oct 6 #116

I don't mind multi-use. Unfortunately, I likely just read the headline and I interpreted it as: "Pack soap & shampoo" LeftInTX Oct 6 #118

Then that's the one I got wrong. iemanja Oct 6 #124
