It does, but kids think it is automatically more impressive when you are young, while it is usually the opposite. When you are young your learning capacity is much bigger, and the things you have learned are much fresher. Remembering something you learned a year ago vs something you learned 40 years ago and never heard of since...

I think up to about 8 it is impressive. From 8-18 you actually have the advantage (big time). from well lets stick with the 8's, from 18-38 it is normal and from 38 to 78(68?) it gets a bit harder and from 78 and up it is impressive again.

These are rough estimates and based on my opinion, but the general trend is true. (you could shift the break up points around a bit obviously, cause it is more fluent than abrupt)

As an American, I can understand how others might see so many of these quizzes as US-centric, which is why I didn't mind taking this one even knowing I'd probably get very few correct answers. Surprisingly, knew all of the countries, capitals, Bonds, Beatles and (gulp) Spice Girls, plus 8 others. I couldn't name a bank or British Monopoly item if my life depended on it. But I will always give it a try.

"Britain" usually refers to the UK as a whole, while "Great Britain" refers to just the island- i.e. England, Wales and Scotland. So Northern Ireland is part of Britain.

So, before Daniel Craig, we had seen 5 men play Bond; a Scot, an Australian, an Englishman, a Welshman, and an Irishman. That seems like a fair distribution, until you think that, according to the author, Bond is half Scottish (through his father) and half Swiss (mother), although, these details were added by Fleming to match up with Connery playing Bond, and the details were only added in the 1964 novel You Only Live Twice - to put this into context, it was the 12th novel - the first, Casino Royale, was published in 1963.
