I wont crucify you, Eddie, but I do disagree with some of them!

1) On horizontal traffic lights, the answer is on the right.

5) The zero on the phone has "OPER" on it (they were "letters" when I was in school)

6) Mine go either way (maybe it's because I'm left handed)

10) Depends which Hemisphere you're in

14) Mine are reversible

22) Can, in fact, be either side

I think I got 14 ..... I didn't write them down though so I migh have cheated

on a venetian blind the string on the right is normally the up/down cord, and the one that alters the angle of the slats is on the left ..... it doesn't actually alter the space between the slats though!

Borrowing Steve's anorak again, I had to look the last one up cos I just saw a merry-go-round the other day but got the question wrong. From Wikipedia:

"Within a given country, carousels are generally all built to rotate in the same direction, with the choice derived perhaps from the rules of the road of that country. In the US, traffic as seen from the sidewalk appears to travel from left to right; hence American carousels rotate counter-clockwise so that the view from outside is the same as that from the sidewalk. In Britain, it's the reverse in both cases."

I did not know this!

Yep - this is "normally" the case - but you CAN get them either way, or both strings together on either side (custom made ) Still counts though!

My Tuner/Amplifier at home starts at 87.5 but the analog dial on a portable AM/FM, CD, Cassette player starts at 88.

However I guessed 102 so I was way off anyway.
