Well, you call it fun facts, but it was mostly common cultural knowledge. Or logic.

The cultural knowledge ones shouldn't be there.

It is not an intelligence, but a knowledge test.

Find out how smart you are

Which is bad. An intelligence test would be one where you are given hard questions to answer.

An example would be:

This statement is not true.

True
False
Don't know

Or:

Is the sun not a colour that isn't yellow?

Yes
No
Don't know

I think the cultural thing is like this...lets say a question was asked about what the major export of Germany was. that question isnt fair, because Germans (you) are gonna know easier than non Germans.

I only missed 4 questions on this thing (because I refuse to cheat shakefist), which brought me down to 77%, not enough questions to really give it any meaning.

I had to guess on the one about who died first...the rest were either common sense things or just really easy 😛

And sheesh, it's a silly little 2 minute thing, no need to nitpick it to death ermm

I don't even remember which I picked. I think so.

I can't be bothered to look it up 😛

well, if I remember correctly, Ford and Nixon were the presidents during vietnam, and Reagan was in the 80's.

There's like 30+ years between their deaths 😐

I got the Sacramento question wrong.

That may be true, but I think this was pretty much world knowledge. At least Western/First World knowledge. At least English Speaking first world knowledge.

I found this test to be a bit...not common sense. It was just for fun but still, it was not common sense stuff. However, I didn't miss any and I still did not get as high as Lana...I knew all of the answers before the I even read the options...that is how basic these questions were. I had problem with the west coast capital question but I figured it rather quickly when I realized the capital of WA was Olympia.

Eh.
