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.
^ 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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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'.
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 ;)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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^^
its easy question.. of course atheists know more about religion in general than christians do haha

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