You can add these two:

1. When was the war of 1812 and who were the two warring parties.

2. What is the name of the national anthem and during what war was it written?

I have a PhD in a life science.

I can do fairly complex math calculations in my head (it impresses people).

I figured out mathematics up to calculus by the time I was 11.

There is no way I could answer your question #1. Learning history is a matter of rote memorization, a skill I was never good at.

However, I can do a pretty good job of playing the 1812 Overture in my head, complete with cannon shots.

If a kid can’t demonstrate good math or English skills by the time they graduate HS, then they went to a crappy school. And yes, I made a conscious decision to use the plural “they” as a singular pronoun, so as to avoid the awkward “he or she” terminology.
