A few years ago I played some online trivia which included several 20 to 35 year olds.

The simple question, " On what continent is Italy located?"

It would receive answers, Japan, South American, Asia, Canada, Paris and others even more ridicules.

Questions about TV Shows, Movies, Modern Music they were great, but History, Geography or anything Classical they had no clue.
