You Know More Than You Think: 50 General Knowledge Questions To Prove It

America wasn’t discovered, it wasn’t lost, it already had custodians.

I'm French and I was taught 5 continents in school - Europe, Africa, Asia, America and Oceania.

Some of these questions are very poorly worded. Elementary particles are smaller than atoms, and the heart technically only undergoes "work" 50% of the time. The number of continents is still undecided, ranging mainly from 4, 5 or 7 depending on which method is used to classify them. Columbus didn't discover America. It was already populated for tens of thousands of years, and he never once set foot in the northern continent. He wasn't even the first European to come across it.

Columbus didn’t “discover “ America. He discovered Haiti and other islands in the Caribbean. Hard to discover a continent you never actually saw or set foot on.

I got a 32. Some of these I never cared enough to pay attention to in all honesty. Anyhow, I dislike things like these because they make me feel like im not smart if I don't get a lot right. That's not how intelligence works. There's many forms of intelligence. Remember this if your down on yourself about not getting a perfect score. 👌 It's just for fun and curiosity.

There is no real agreement as to the number of continents.

46, not too shabby.

I got 19/20 and then had to get back to work. Didn't know how many people on a football/soccer team. Meh

All objects slow down time and bend light. There is no "official" discovery of America, the number of continents is debatable and subatomic particles are smaller than atoms and cannot be seen. Here is a trivia quiz for the author: This test is: A) A waste of time B) Full of wrong and debatable answers C) A piece of crąp D) All of the above Hint: It's D.

The vikings had permanent settlement, so I claim one more point, giving me 38

41/50 i did way better then i thought i would, i never realized i knew so much

49/50 hooray I have the knowledge of a general

40/50. Pretty random test...

With the ‘written language is usually left-to-right’ thing, this is why I always thought hieroglyphics were fun. The reading direction depends on which way the figures are facing - they’re always looking towards the beginning of the line.

Only 31 dammit. Made a few stupid mistakes 🙄

42/50. Seems I am relatively bad at dates and geography (not all questions, but I definitely don't remember Titanic sinking date or capitals)

49, the largest African country stumped me

#16: Unless you adjust for inflation. Then it's Gone With The Wind. They need to start ranking movies by tickets sold instead of gross income. When a ticket was 25 cents. Of course the grosses will be higher now.
