Sometimes when I take people hostage in game I give them an offer to do a quiz, where you get given 5 quiz questions. If you get 100% correct you get between $250k and $1m. If you get 4 correct you get released with your gear. Any lower you get executed. People usually consent to the quiz. The quiz is usually some simple quiz from @mahanlankarani on TikTok. I usually select one of the “everyone can get them right” ones because it’s more fun.

I’ve kept tally of the people’s country of origin when I do the quiz. The results are as follows.

95% of people from the US fail to get more than 3 questions correct. This represents 1 person getting 4, and one person getting 5.

10% of people from the UK fail to get more than 3 correct. This represents 1 person failing. IIRC it was someone who was from IGSF at the time. 80% of them get the questions correct to at least 4. 1 person called me a racial slur before starting the quiz, thereby violating the implied terms of the quiz.

The EU countries have such a low sample size it’s better to group them all together. 35% of people get at least 4 questions correct from this group, which can be explained by the language barrier. 
 

This is hard data showing a damning indictment of the US education system. The questions are not difficult. They’re targeted usually around middle to high school level. I will skip questions and replace with others if there’s a question they will have no chance at getting (major UK/EU/AS/ME cities etc.)
