You may recall Stephen Jay Gould writing about the cultural bias in intelligence tests used in screening of immigrants to the US in the early 20th century, I recall it, and I'm pretty sure it was SJG, but I can't remember where he wrote about it, but no matter, what does matter is that these 'mistakes' are slowly drifting away from our common experience so I'm confused about a few of them, especially the item at the left which is possibly a radiogram which both winds up and has an electrical plug, although to be quite fair and logical, all you see is the powerpoint behind it, not the plug. I assume the pictures on the wall have a mistake in them, but I can't tell what they are, unless it's 'no-one would put a picture of Asia on their wall'. One more thing: is the cat's head weird? It seems to have a roaming eyebrow in the shape of the Nike logo, but I am not entirely certain what's going on there. If you see Charlie Chuckles, can you ask him?
