11 out of 20...they recon i should sharpen up!!! :D

[rainy]

What does that have to do with a sense test? More than half the questions are trivia questions, not actual sense challenges. I was a bit disappointed. How the heck should I know which of the 3 out of Parmesan cheese, Red wine and Balsamic Vinegar contains butyric acid? And what the heck does that have to do with senses?

[Onyx]

Yes! My thoughts exactly :rofl:

My score wasn't too good.... what was yours rainy?
Apparently I have some sharpening to do.

Yellow, red, green, purple, blue. At least I got full marks for that one. :D

[rainy]

I had 9 out of 20.

That colours question would have been alright if they hadn't slapped a time limit on it.

[Onyx]

Me too :D

I think I need to go do something I enjoy doing now to make me feel better :o

:hmmm: Will have to thank Dahlink later for the exhilarating sense test :p

12/20.. Apparently I suck. The "Cavier + White chocolate" thing would have been right if I had tasted Cavier before. I get put off by the smell.. :D

Oh, and the warped room question is just silly.. The whole room is intentionally warped so you have no references.. Bah..

[Titan]

Hmmmmm, I got 15/20.....maybe I'm sensible after all :D

@Rainy the smell of the Parmesan gave it away for me, it's the first thing I thought of whe I saw it as one of the option to choose.

Was a fun one though, will see if I find any other good ones.

@ Vorty - caviar is very salty.

[rainy]

Vorty, I wouldn't even want to begin thinking about the taste combinations they offered there. I guessed Pineapple and Soy sauce, but in real life I really wouldn't want to put these two together. And when they went on to white chocolate with broccoli, bacon or caviar, they lost me completely.

[TG]

Basically they are referring to the contrast between salty & sweet.

[SlappY]

WOOT!!! I got 16. I guess my psyc major paid for itself.

[Askari]

I got 9/20 but it is 2am so my senses are not on top form....

[MrVoorhees]

I dont know about the guys that set up the test, but I personally enjoy bacon and chocolate. Who are they to tell me that I'm wrong? 10/20

I've had pineapple and soy-type sauce in a Thai meal, so I know it is quite good. Sweet 'n Sour type effect.

[CYST]

I'ma sensitive soul.

Mainly because I have had these questions asked to me bofore. And some of it was luck. Also I read this thread before I did the test. :P
