Default How many of these things do you know?

I remember last year when watching The Apprentice I was surprised that only one person knew what Pangea was, and this year Lottie was the only one who knew what androgynous means, and when World War II was.

The first two are fairly common knowledge I thought, and I can't even conceptialise someone having grown up in the UK without knowing about WWII ...

So how many of those three things did you know?

I don't know what Pangea is and when WW2 was. I do know what androgynous means though

0/3 but I should deeeeefinitely know when WWII was... I know it's roughly mid-1900's and probably on the earlier side but I could not tell you the exact years at all off the top of my head.

The other 2 sound familiar but I don't know at all

Pangea as in the super-continent that existed hundreds of millions of years ago, before the continents drifted apart?

So I knew all of those.

Ah right but since I didn't remember what this was from looking at the word I guess I still didn't know this technically

Terrible terrible memory. I blame weed

On topic, I knew about WW2 and Androgyny. Only heard about Pangea last year but never bothered to research it.

Weed makes so much more sense out of some people's posts.

All but I have a head absolutely stuffed full of general knowledge that has practically zero focussed real-world application. Like I have a tonne of general medical knowledge, legal knowledge, knowledge of history and politics, tech knowledge including the basics of several programming languages... but nowhere near enough of any to be a doctor, lawyer, historian or programmer. USELESS
