35 out of 40...not bad for a Brit...the questions we’re oriented towards US knowledge!

35 out of forty. The American history questions were a bit tough for a European, and I do think that an eagle must be faster, especially in a dive, which the question did not rule out.

Me too...same score. I got the US history questions right, some of the others not!
@Marionville Yep I got most of them right, just dropped one, made one stupid mistake clicked on the wrong box, don't agree about the eagle, and a couple I really did not know.
36/40
I felt the fastest bird question wasn’t very specific - an Eagle can fly faster than an ostrich can run.
Theresa May is no longer Prime Minister of the UK

Yes, I got that wrong too.
Yes...but Theresa May was the most recent of these names!
JimG:
I read: "Which bird runs the fastest?"
I thought 33 was pretty good since it was an American quiz.

Seriously Elementary kids know the Prime Minister of England? The ads made me nuts but I managed 36 out of 40.

it was out of date anyway
@MsDemeanour Thinking back, though...I was taught a lot of totally irrelevant things in elementary school. I think we spent an entire semester learning how oranges were grown. Did they think we'd all work in citrus orchards?
@LucyLoohoo There was time in those days to teach you a range of stuff. How much sex ed did you get?
@LucyLoohoo do you think elementary kids in UK know the USA president ? lol
@MsDemeanour Good questions...we weren't given sex education until high school. But I knew how to propagate oranges and dates! 
Does anyone in the world NOT know who the porcine pustule is? SIGH.
British children would be expected to know the US President.
@MsDemeanour Yes... I think most of them would.
@Marionville Yes but the US president is the loudest....ooops I mean....most powerful. Altho our kids wouldn't know the Chinese president.
@LucyLoohoo Mate you must be a blast at dinner parties with your citrus citations. lol
35 out of 40. So I learned that the Arctic Ocean is the smallest.

It's been a lot longer since i was in school
A couple of years ago I set out to prove Pythagoras's theorem. I used to think it was a doddle in my youth. However, I failed miserably in my dotage!

er right.....Something about a triangle wasn't it? lol
@MsDemeanour Half a rectangle, actually. 
@Petter Symmetry never appealed to me. 
I always prefer irregularities with a splash of chaos. (I should've been a believer). Actually I was just really crap at math.
