The trouble is these Howard Bloom type quiz show test of knowledge is no knowledge at all. Conservatives seems to really go for them. Its a waste of time.

Having a command over a body of knowledge and being able to apply it and being able to add to it is a lot more than memorizing those silly lists of 1,000 facts that educated people should know.
