From Wikipedia:

"In the UK and Europe, merry-go-rounds (as they are most often referred to in those countries) usually turn clockwise (see photograph at top), while in North America, carousels typically go anti-clockwise (or "counter-clockwise")."

Notice the usually and typically. I want want my point back

I suspect, with all humble apologies, that this "test" is bogus and was not researched or thought out well.

I currently have a can of Campbell's CLASSIC Vegetarian Vegetable in my hand. The colors are, RED, WHITE, YELLOW, GOLD, BLACK AND a touch of GREEN. There is NOT one sliver of blue on the label, as the correct answer states.

So, the developers who designed this should have been more explicite in the question descriptions.

But it is kind of fun....especially when we prove the developers wrong, also.
