Senses Challenge

I got a score of 9 out of 20, although I really knew 2 other answers too. I overthought the questions and decided that the right answers were so easy that they had to be wrong. (Story of my life!)

I got 10 out of 20 so I'm right there with you. Although, when I had to rank things according to loudness, I first read "pop concert" as "pop corn". I was really amazed at just how loud pop corn was. (Just for that I should lose all 10 points I earned!)

That's interesting. My first instinct was to rate "whisper" as the softest sound, even though I knew that "rustling leaves" was softer. Somehow my brain just wanted to skip right over the leaves...

I think it freaked me out that I was willing to believe it was "pop corn" even when presented with other information. My first thought was, "Gee, pop corn is second only to a jet taking off" rather than immediately thinking "Oh, clearly I misread something". I am a fan of pop corn, apparently.

I'm pretty sure that I actually tried to place "whisper" after "rustling leaves". However, given I've experienced Indiana during tornado season that's not so crazy.

Eh.
