Level 82

Jun 1, 2016

I'm not sure the Star Wars one is as "easy" as the others. I had to guess a few before I got it.

+14

Level 73

Jun 2, 2016

I've watched the film and still didn't get it, so I'm quite surprised that 88% did... I guess there are lots of Star Wars fans out there :)

+13

Level 84

Oct 10, 2016

One of the most successful and referenced films of all time. Most recent reference I can recall is from Captain America: Civil War where they were surprised Peter didn't know the name of the film.

Level 31

Oct 11, 2016

why is Star Wars harder than Bugs Bunny/

+31

Level 70

Oct 12, 2016

Some are only easy if you are of a certain demographic. I missed both the Star Wars and Bugs Bunny ones.

Level 62

Apr 23, 2021

I missed those two too (no pun intended)

Level 21

Jun 4, 2021

Me too

Level 54

Nov 13, 2022

too me a long time to remember moses

+13

Level 84

Dec 18, 2019

^ is that demographic "human being who lives on Earth?" Both of these things are deeply woven in to the fabric of global culture and have been for over 40 years now.

+49

Level 79

Dec 18, 2019

Well, people in non-English speaking countries may know the these in a translated form, but not in the original one. You may be surprised, but people in Serbia, for example, are familiar with the expression "Hej, Šefe, koji ti je vrag", which is very far from the literal translation of "What's up, Doc". And, although I did know the answer, it is far from common knowledge here, although its translated form is well known.

Level 84

Dec 19, 2019

fair point

+25

Level 87

May 5, 2020

"Deeply woven in to the fabric of global culture"?? The Star Wars movies are primarily aimed at 13 year old boys. I've seen a lot of hyperbolic things said about Star Wars, but this might be the funniest one yet.

+11

Level 84

Jun 28, 2020

It's not at all hyperbolic. You're out of touch.

+22

Level 73

Dec 19, 2020

57% of people know it. Maybe you're not a one-man reflection of mankind Kal. I'm sure almost everyone has heard of the franchise, but the title of the sequel is a different matter.

Level 84

Nov 26, 2021

I never said I was and you'd have to be something I can't say without getting censored to assert or imply otherwise.

Level 36

Nov 26, 2021

lmao u for real?

+11

Level 57

Dec 18, 2019

Im not a star wars fan so this wasnt easy for me. I tried star wars 2 at first, then just guessed sub titles for the films i could remember and got it eventually.

+22

Level 82

Feb 1, 2020

Star Wars 2 is a logical guess on Earth but in a galaxy far, far away the cardinal numbers apparently go 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 3.5, 8...

Level 53

Mar 6, 2021

brandybuck96 I'm sure it is

Level 63

Nov 26, 2021

I though Star Trek was the sequel to Star Wars. Never seen any of both.

Level 88

Nov 13, 2022

Different franchise. Star Trek is actually older than Star Wars.

Level 19

Jan 24, 2023

no, this is easy

+15

Level 64

Jun 1, 2016

The 7th question is very difficult for someone who is not Christian.

+16

Level 83

Jun 3, 2016

or Jewish or Muslim or saw the Best Picture of 1956 or who ever heard "All You Zombies".

Level 64

Jun 5, 2016

Well none of those things pertained to me either so I guess there is no reason I should've known it? :D

Level 65

Aug 14, 2016

None pertain to me, but I have read the Bible to come to a religious (or non religious) decision so I suppose I know.

Level 48

Dec 31, 2021

I do not care about the bible (even though I am Christian, or at least, in part.)

Level 57

May 25, 2022

huh? i dont know much about judaism but why would a muslim know this

Level 74

Nov 13, 2022

All three religions essentially share the Old Testament, but Christians branched off from Judaism when Jesus was proclaimed Messiah, and Islam branched off after Muhammad had a divine revelation and was proclaimed a prophet.

+17

Level 48

Oct 10, 2016

Moses is not Christian. The 10 Commandments is in the old testement, which has rules for: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The New testement is for Christianity. It is also an easy answer if you are good at history.

Level 84

Oct 10, 2016

If you count up all the people in the world who grew up in countries that were either majority Muslim/Christian/Jewish or where there was a sizable Muslim/Christian/Jewish minority, I think you would get over 5 billion people. Maybe if you're from China or Japan you might not have heard of Moses.

Level 64

Mar 19, 2017

Of course I've heard of Moses (from living in the US), but I don't know about him!

Level 52

Apr 14, 2017

And even those in China and Japan almost certainly have moved if they're able to use Jetpunk.

Level 52

Apr 14, 2017

(The English version, that is.)

Level 47

Dec 18, 2019

Don't go into whether or not it is actually 'history'.

Level 71

Nov 26, 2021

I read an answer on Quora where the author once met a Chinese guy who compared Mao to Moses. I know that might not be indicative of all Chinese people knowing him, but he seems to be well known even among people who follow non-Abrahamic religions.

Level 84

Oct 10, 2016

I'm not Christian. That question was very easy.

Level 44

Mar 10, 2018

Im an atheist and I got it right

its easy question.. of course atheists know more about religion in general than christians do haha

Level 62

Apr 23, 2021

I'm also atheist but I was raised Christian so I still knew it.

Level 49

Oct 10, 2016

or jewish, or muslim, or owns a television set, or has ever read anything

Level 64

Mar 19, 2017

Not Jewish, not Muslim, don't watch religious shows, and don't read Abrahamic religious books.

+13

Level 69

Dec 18, 2019

They don't even have to be religious books or shows. The Simpson's did their version of the Moses story, and the story is referenced in so many non religious places that it hardly matters if you are religious at all. if you don't know this, you are, without a doubt, in the minority.

Level 69

Dec 18, 2019

Also seems crazy to me that you have reached level 60 on jetpunk without coming across a question about Moses.

Level 57

Oct 10, 2016

I'm atheist but it was still easy, Moses is referenced quite a lot in pop culture so you can do it just by cycling through famous biblical characters.

+17

Level 77

Oct 11, 2016

This is like saying that the flamingos question is very difficult for someone who is not a zoologist. Nonsense.

Level 64

Mar 19, 2017

Yikes, I unintentionally stirred up a ton of comments....

Level 43

Mar 25, 2019

haha......I failed to answer that...

Level 43

Jun 2, 2019

I'm very athiest and I didn't even have to pause

Level 66

Nov 16, 2019

Im atheistiest!

Level 59

Dec 19, 2019

Or someone who doesn't know anything about Human history or Religions. I'm an Atheist and that was really easy but ok

Level 45

Mar 31, 2021

I only got it because he parted the red sea I just though he had to be doing it for something

Level 55

Sep 26, 2021

Yeah, me too!

Level 75

Jun 1, 2016

I support this kind of quizzes. You should make Kids zone, or something like that in Top categories. Youngsters should start to get knowledge with easier games.Good job :)

+20

Level 78

Jun 2, 2016

Haven't you read the comments on quizzes? It's always the 8-year-olds who score 100% on quizzes like "The most obscure cities of the world".

Level 59

Oct 10, 2016

Level 66

Nov 16, 2019

Usually it is the 11 year olds

Level 64

Jun 2, 2016

There is a "Kids" tag though. And an "Easy" tag

Level 61

Jun 2, 2016

For once I got 100% on one of these quizzes without having to cheat a little. But it is called "Easy General Knowledge' for a reason. Keep them coming!

Level 64

Jun 5, 2016

+1 I agree!

Level 59

Oct 10, 2016

it's not much easier then others for someone how's not english or american.

Level 26

Oct 10, 2016

As an European, this makes me think I'd love an "Easy US quizz", to see what I'm lacking.

Level 36

Oct 9, 2018

I think that it is a European, even though it does not follow the rule, it just sounds better.

Level 69

Oct 10, 2016

While we all learn in school to type "Mt. Everest" when the question contains "Mountain + big", that is not always correct.

Mauna Kea is known as the "tallest" mountain of the world. Further, the summit of Cimborazo is the highest point of the Earth (closest to the sun and furthest from the centre of the Earth).

Mt. Everest is just the location where the air pressure at ground is minimum.

+12

Level 72

Oct 10, 2016

Yeah, and that's the thought process most would go through when solving a quiz with the title "Easy General Knowledge 1".

Level 14

Oct 11, 2016

You are correct that Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain, However Chimborazo is not the highest above sea level, with an elevation of 6,263m, compared to Everest's 8,848m. Chimborazo is simply the point on the earth's surface that is furtherest from the earth's centre, due to it's location along the equatorial bulge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimborazo

Level 69

Dec 18, 2019

I hate this argument, no one who asks the question "what is the tallest mountain on earth?" wants the answer from the sea floor. it's very clear that they are talking about being above sea level, you're just being annoying.

Level 61

Dec 18, 2019

There's always one.

Level 48

Oct 10, 2016

Very easy, indeed.

Level 27

Oct 10, 2016

i did ok full marks but im terrible at this stuff

Level 27

Oct 10, 2016

never seen star wars but got it on the first guess!

Level 29

Oct 10, 2016

That was easy

Level 48

Oct 10, 2016

i got all except the mcjagger one :(

Level 64

Oct 10, 2016

Why is this a quiz, and better question, why is this featured?

Level 66

Nov 16, 2019

What is your issue with it?

Level 41

Oct 13, 2016

I nearly forgot about the backbone but everything else was a doddle

Level 43

Oct 13, 2016

I didn't get three of them ...

Level 19

Nov 7, 2016

How can you say it is easy? (NOT sarcasm)

Level 59

Dec 26, 2016

Surely "bones" or "skeleton" should work as well as spine?!? No?

Level 34

Oct 24, 2017

"bones" doesn't work but "back bone" does

Level 76

Dec 18, 2019

I would hope that vertebrae would work, too.

Level 67

Jan 27, 2022

Thats exactly what I typed. It was accepted!

Level 77

Mar 31, 2021

No. While invertebrates have no bones, some vertebrates don't either but still have a spine. Sharks and other cartilaginous fish (rays, skates) have no bones but are classified as vertebrates because they still have a spinal (aka "vertebral") column, just made out of cartilage instead of bone.

Level 52

Jan 8, 2017

I'll take the 5 points with just under 3mins remaining. Thanks!

Level 54

Apr 20, 2017

3:00 minutes left! Easiest quiz in the world.

Level 17

Nov 24, 2017

Not too hard

Level 44

Mar 10, 2018

BTW I d like to mention that Flamingos are normally white, unless they eat certain food. I can't remember what it is but it makes them pink, Ive seen them at the zoo where they were white before haha

Level 61

Dec 18, 2019

I typed in white before I typed in pink for the same reason, their colouring is totally diet based. Forgot this was an 'easy' quiz and assumed there was more to that word 'normally'.

Level 20

Mar 30, 2018

Lol for 'What's up Doc' I was so sure it was Marty McFly.

Level 16

Jul 5, 2018

The bible part isn't very general

Level 69

Dec 18, 2019

yes it is, and I'm not religious in the slightest.

Level 56

Nov 26, 2021

Not everyone is from a country where an Abrahamic religion is a major part of the culture

Level 44

Sep 30, 2018

Nice quiz! :) Great for when my younger sibs want to join me on here and we need something we can all do. Although, they like the normal general knowledge ones too, but they can be a bit American-centric for us Brits ;)

Level 66

Aug 21, 2019

Please accept Lizzy for Queen Elizabeth?

Level 27

Dec 19, 2019

Prince Philip, is that you?

Level 77

Nov 8, 2019

There's a typo in the question - 'What 1980 film was the sequeal to "Star Wars"?'

Level ∞

Nov 8, 2019

Okay, fixed

Level 38

Dec 18, 2019

Although being a Hindu, I knew the answer is Moses but I had a brain fart and tried Noah instead.

Level 66

Dec 18, 2019

Didn't know Moses...didn't care either. Religion is way to debateble as in being an 'easy general knowlegde' thing, way too dependend on where you live, grow up, that kind of stuff.

Level 57

Dec 18, 2019

Shouldn't the first black president of the United States be Bill Clinton?

Level 77

Dec 18, 2019

Argghh... missed the Star Wars question - I typed 'The Empire Strikes Again'....

Level 67

Dec 18, 2019

Had to google the Star Wars question. Have never seen star wars before.

Level 42

Dec 19, 2019

The rest was quite easy for me, but Hydrogen took me a good half of the time to come up with.

Level 54

Feb 17, 2020

mauna key is taller than everest

Level 61

Feb 18, 2020

2:30

Level 61

Feb 22, 2020

Ooftownroad, Mauna Kea is the TALLEST mountain on earth, but Everest is the HIGHEST. They ask the highest mountain.

Level 74

Mar 9, 2020

Maybe specify that you are talking about A New Hope for the Star Wars question? It sounds like it's talking about the entire series, so I tried Star Trek, Spaceballs, etc.

Level 70

May 26, 2022

In what universe is star trek a sequel to star wars

Level 74

Nov 13, 2022

The original movie, when it came out in 1977, was just called Star Wars. No episode number, no subtitle. "Episode IV: A New Hope" wasn't added until it was re-released in 1981, and it wasn't commonly called anything but Star Wars until the release of The Phantom Menace in 1999.

So, when The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980, it was the sequel to Star Wars.

Level 66

Apr 30, 2020

I'm glad it said "landed" in the New World instead of "discovered"

Level 27

May 1, 2021

same. colombus day should be removed.

Level 62

May 10, 2020

I only got 14 oooops

Level 51

Jul 17, 2020

I only missed Moses. That does make sense because I am a Hindu.

Level 58

Sep 15, 2020

Huh, didn't know Hindus think the Bilble doesn't exist...

Level 77

Nov 17, 2020

He was great in Lord of the Rings.

Level 53

Mar 6, 2021

Should be able to get 100%? I'm not a science geek, why should I know hydrogen is the 1st periodic table element? I'm also not a music geek, so Google was very kind to me with the Rolling Stones question.

I protest!

Level 27

May 1, 2021

i looked up that one. I knew every other one except the moses one - 13 year old boy

Level 59

Jun 24, 2021

Never have read the Bible

Level 49

Nov 26, 2021

Others were easy but the Star Wars and cartoon ones I had no clue.

Level 27

Nov 26, 2021

It took me a while to guess Hydrogen as well. I kept thinking it was Carbon for some reason.

Level 20

Jan 28, 2022

please try my Countries-Easy Multiple choice quiz it was my first quiz so dont judge me too much please. thanks.

i got an 85% lol

Level 17

May 28, 2022

As a non-english speaker, the hardest for me were some names. I knew the answer (in french), but lost a lot of time trying to find the english translation >.<

For Colombus (Colomb for me) I even tried the spanish/portugese name "Colon" but nothing.... maybe you could add this possibility for others like me^^

Level 61

Jul 13, 2022

I don't know in spanish, but his name in portuguese is "Colombo".

Level 61

Jul 13, 2022

I only didn't know Bugs Bunny's quesiton, I've never watched the cartoon in english.

Level 21

Oct 26, 2022

12/20 finally a general knowledge quiz my level lol

Level 66

Nov 13, 2022

Shaq should be an acceptable type-in for the "What's up Doc" question.

(This isn't a serious suggestion btw, I want to see if y'all get the reference without googling)

I wrote in "Rolling Stone" or "Rolling Stones" but it didn't take it
