Non-Americans Might Struggle With This Basic American Knowledge Quiz, Test Yourself
How well do you know the country you live in? The United States has its own customs, institutions, history, and everyday quirks that might seem obvious to locals but leave visitors scratching their heads. From familiar facts about the country to details that come up in ordinary conversations, there is plenty of basic knowledge that people who grew up in the U.S. might take for granted.
This 20-question general knowledge quiz puts that familiarity to the test. The questions cover things that Americans should recognize without needing to consult Google, while people from other countries might find a few of them surprisingly tricky.
No specialist knowledge or hours of studying required – just a good grasp of the basics.
Think you can get a perfect score? Take the quiz, keep track of your answers, and see how you do. Whether you grew up in the U.S. or learned about it from abroad, your final score might surprise you.

Unsurprisingly got some of the US ones wrong, but why were so many of the questions not US related at all? Some of them, like calculating 15% (tip?) and the imperial measurements, one can vaguely see a very slight US connection, but others like the CPU and Shakespeare are in the slightest bit American.

I imagine because they're things that Americans are expected to know...? somehow? XD We usually study Shakespeare in school (high school, I think - I don't know for sure as my mother forced me into homeschooling.) That's the only explanation for those odd questions - they're supposed to be something that "Americans should know" or something.
