[AnnularCane]

I got 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 15. I'm not even that old. Well, I suspect this test was for baby boomers, and I'm younger than that.

Hula hoops are still around, by the way. My little cousin got one for her birthday recently.

Ohhh.. I feel stupid. I'm 17 and took this. *laughs*

I knew all of them. My hubby missed numbers 3, 4, 8, and 13.

I got them all right. Now that I am older and supposed to forget things, I love tests like this. LOL
