Icon5 Quiz time

Ok, most people that I've shown this to gave up after a minute or 2. Only one person got it straight away. Be honest how long did it take you?

Apparently kids can get this quickly, adults tend to overthink it. Apparently.

Of course the numbers are turned in the direction you drive in.

I got it!

What do I win?

I was good at those tests in school which were timed, but the last question was to NOT answer any of the previous questions... I learned that one quickly: read all the questions before you answer any of them. (by the way there was no way to complete the other questions in the alloted time)

The rotation screws you. I cheated. I saw this a couple days ago.

It's official. TRF members have a higher average IQ than any other Internet forum group. Yay.

Honestly, it took me while to get it when I was asked the question awhile back.
Never crossed my mind to turn it upside down till the person said that kids answered it quicker than adults. So logically , it had to be a simplistic answer.
