How ignorant is Mabination? Let's put it to the test. Below I have typed up a number of general knowledge questions, trying to make it as broad and covering as many different topics as possible. They are fairly simple so I expect you to get at least 10 of them. I suppose you could just cheat and look up the answers but what's the point?

1) What is the capital of Finland?
2) In which mountain range would you find Mount Everest?
3) How many countries make up the UK?
4) Which nation won the first ever soccer world cup?
5) Name 5 Shakespearian plays
6) Who was the lead singer of the band Queen?
7) Name all of the worlds continents
8) When is Armistice day?
9) What is the largest human organ?
10) Who directed the movie Pulp Fiction?
11) How many colours are found in the flag of Argentina?
12) In what year did Hitler rise to power and become leader of Germany?

Have fun!

7. This is a tricky question, as some education systems teach that there are 6 continents instead of 7. Some even teach that there are 5. In America, we learn the 7-continent system: N. America, S. America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Antartica, Australia

I haven't even done geography in school, or have every heard of Queen other than passively for one song, I don't know what Armstice day is, never heard of Pulp Fiction, don't relate flags to their countries, nor have I actually learned about Germany or Hitler. I just know he has a mustache.

1). I hate world geography.
2). Himalayas (I think that's how you spell it).
3). 3.
4). I don't really follow sports, even if soccer (FOOTBALL, DARN IT) is one of my favorites.
5). Tragedy of Julius Ceaser (my favorite), Romeo and Juliet (Stuck in my head waaaaaaaay before even Wishbone made an episode of it), Hamlet, Macbeth, and Much Ado About Nothing.
6). Don't follow them.
7). From west to east, North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Antarctica, and Australia (if you consider it as a continent instead of a country).
8). Don't know.
9). Skin.
10). Don't know that movie.
11). 3.
12). Sketchy about this one. 1933 was when he became chancellor of Germany and called it the Third Reich. Kind of hard for me to pinpoint exactly when he had absolute power in steering Germany into whatever.
