I got 23 correct. And some of the anwers to the test are not entirely fact. The merry go round at Enchanted Village in Washington State and every other one that I've ridden on have gone clockwise. Our ceiling fan also rotates backwards so it can push the warm air back down in the winter. Our Ford Topaz that we used to own had 4 lug nuts per tire. Fact: Most tests have errors! 
P.S. My 12 year old son also got 23 correct. (25 like me if you account for the test errors.)
