I claim a pass. As someone that had a pilots licence I knew the colour of the box. I used to help a mate string tennis rackets using cat gut. That helped. Got stumped on a few though. My wife was a budding artist and I was familiar with the brush bristles. As an ex owner of a garden centre I knew the history of the Kiwi fruit. As a result of this thread I now know a couple of new facts. All I have to do is remember them.
One thing about age is that one has had the chance to have contact with a lot of "things".
