Wow, you can't fail much harder than that.

I once had a friend though, who when she was living in the Netherlands as a small child, was asked by a teacher, "where does bacon come from?" And she responded "from a fox!"

Its prob not that high, my school was invovld in a similar study where we had to take a basic test about this.

I was asked what letter does the country I live start in, I said Q.

I had the biggest laugh getting them wrong :)
