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

The site froze up on me so I didn't get my results. Looks like it was 19/20. yardwork Oct 6 #85

I don't see what this questionnaire proves: robbob Oct 6 #92

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

Thanks for that info, robbob Oct 6 #108

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

I love tests like this, thank you AZJonnie Oct 5 #7

I guessed on that one. Ms. Toad Oct 5 #26

I know, I know ...I was bad, but at least I admitted I kinda cheated :) AZJonnie Oct 6 #91

I think I missed the trust question. I was thinking big picture as in the last few decades and losing trust because brewens Oct 5 #63

That was the other one I wasn't certain about - Ms. Toad Oct 6 #101

Hmmm. I said they didn't remove the small bottles from the bathrooms. Maybe that was it. n/t brewens Oct 6 #102

That's the one. Ms. Toad Oct 6 #104

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
