20/20. They're fairly easy to differentiate. The curved ends (finials) of e, c, C, r, S, s are generally horizontal in Helvetica and at an angle in Arial. The tail of the uppercase R and ascender of the lowercase t are the biggest giveaways. Funny how they are so similar, but Arial is pretty tacky in comparison...
When looking at uppercase I could see such a difference in kerning, Arial just can't get it right.

Same score. I also applied the same heuristic. I wonder what I should have looked for in the MATTEL one.
It's very subtle and more pronounced in the other logos shown, but the horizontal line in the "A" is closer to the baseline in Helvetica than in Arial.

18/20, they're fairly easy to tell apart, except for MATTEL and TOYOTA which are quite subtle (and I got wrong precisely because I couldn't remember which is which). Both the capital and lowercase R are a dead giveaway.
MATTEL and TOYOTA are the most difficult ones IMO. I got Toyota right because the non-circular O's in the Arial variant just look wrong to me.
It’s easy to tell if you know what to look for. If there’s an R, r, or t, it’s super obvious. G, S, s, 3, Y, A and a are also pretty noticeable too. If you didn’t score well on this test, go back and look again given what I just told you above and you’ll see what I mean.
And perpendicular cuts on all C/c/S/s/e/G/g
Only missed Mattel and Staples.
Got 15/20, although I don't know much about fonts (I just tried to pick the one that looked better or more professional). To the quiz creator: There's an (R) trademark missing in the imitation "Staples" logo which is a giveaway.
I guess 5 capital letters wouldn't've been enough for the owners of Helvetica to have made a case

Oh it's always in the lowercase a. Arial is missing that trademark grotesque tail. And perpendicular cuts on all C/c/S/s/e/G/g
