Maybe, but it does display a large degree of ignorance. It just came as a shock to me that this would be hard for anyone who is attending a university.

You obviously haven't spent any time around sorostitutes, AKA broads too dumb to spell "cat" if you spotted them the "c" and the "a".

Lack of general knowledge doesn't equal lack of intelligence.

True. But not absorbing knowledge you are regularly exposed to does.

If it is reasonable that she has lived her life without much exposure to the names of continents then she is not necessarily an idiot. I don't think that is reasonable, but may be out of touch with the lives of the young and dumb.

It, in combination with other questions that focus on common knowledge, provide us with a simple litmus test for stupidity. True, some people who really are morons could pass it, but I doubt anyone who isn't a moron would fail it.

I'm sorry, but if you don't know what side of the street you're supposed to drive on or know what the square root of 7 x 5 x 2 / 37 x 10,293 / 200 x 1,000,000,000 x 50 / 37 x 0 is, then you're simply not college material.

What if I asked you to name all the countries that used to be part of the USSR, could you do it? Do you feel good about yourself if you can or bad if you can't? Do you think it matters in the slightest whether or not you could? Unless you're a Russian diplomat or work at a Euroasian hedge fund or something equally specific, it really doesn't matter. Same with the continents, they just happen to be easier to know because they're more commonly taught.

Latvia
Lithuania
Bosnia

Actually no, you're multiplying by 0. Order of operations.

Now please stand for anthem:

Kazakhstan greatest country in the world
All other countries are run by little girls
Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium
Other countries have inferior potassium

Kazakhstan home of Tinshein Swimming Pool
Its length thirty metre and width six metre
Filtration system a marvel to behold
It remove 80 percent of human solid waste

Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place
From plains of Tarashenk to Northern fence of Jewtown
Kazakhstan friend of all except Uzbekistan
They very nosey people with bone in their brain

Kazakhstan industry best in world
We invented toffee and the trouser belt
Kazakhstan's prostitutes cleanest in the region
Except of course for Turkmenistan's

Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place
From plains of Tarashenk to Northern fence of Jewtown
Come grasp the mighty phenis of our leader
From junction with the testes to tip of its face

wow this thread is getting a lot of action. ppl are right that knowing the continents is pretty useless as far as doing stuff that will get you paid. on the other hand, ppl who are intersted in world news or history will know the continents that ppl live on.
