Don't be too embarrassed about that. In the USA, they frequently have survey's like this. It is embarassing to me that there are so many Americans who know so little about what I call basic knowledge.

There is a TV talk show host here named Jay Leno. As part of his show, sometimes, he goes out on the street and asks people basic knowlege questions. It is embarrassing enough that some don't know who Copernicus is, for example, but some don't know who the current president or vice president is. :roll:

Thank heavens there are people who are as smart as we!
