MemberI want to compile a list of basic questions that American people should know, but most don’t. I don’t mean them as trick questions though. I’m trying to make a stupid test. Help me compile more simple idiot questions, that you’d be surprised that people don’t know.
What is two times two-cubed minus four divided by two?
Who is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?
What country did the United States gain it’s independence from?
In England do they celebrate the Fourth of July?
What was William Shakespeare known for?
What is the Pope’s name?
In Greek mythology, who had the Golden Touch? (This is a little on the harder side)
In Greek mythology, who was invulnerable? (This is a little on the harder side)

Jay Leno occasionally does a segment on the Tonight Show called the Man on the Street. For a good laugh (and some more questions), check out the US Presidents video on his Jay Walking page. Good stuff! 🙂
