“Think You’ve Got Common Sense?”: Try Passing This 30-Question WWI Recruit Test And Prove It

Ready to test your common sense?

Just like in the first part of this quiz, these are real questions that were given to WWI recruits over 100 years ago. They might seem easy at first – questions like “Can a bed run?” or “Are false arguments valid?” – but they weren’t meant to trick, just to see if someone could think clearly.

Think your mind’s still sharp enough to pass? Let’s find out! 🎖️
