@@lynndewitt2152 You are correct, of course. I am aware of the meaning in the absolute sense, but it didn't mean anything in regard to a specific country. Except possibly Japan, and Japan wasn't on the list. "Ganges" did identify a river in India (or Indian subcontinent) and that gave it away.

I took a History exam, once, in order to challenge the History class, and to then move on. (I also challenged 45 semester hours of classes towards my AS degree (as an old guy). The professor (Phd), gave me the exam and after taking it, he asked what I thought about it and I asked him if it was really a History exam, because it all seemed more like current events, to me! He didn't seem too happy about it (as I was considered a geezer in my mind 30's, to him and everybody else). Off topic trivia: Paul Anka wrote the song, "My Way," in a cafe (can't remember where (Paris or London), and then sold it for $50 on the spot). You can find the tune here on utube, in English, but the version in French by Murrile Matheau, (probably spelled it wrong), I believe is more entertaining. I was forced to learn French in Kiddie-Garten all the way through HS, because I lived near France (in the USA, but south west of St. Pierre), the island south of Nova Scotia, which is a French territory and not the island which is in the river near Montreal (I lived in New England, near the Canadian border & even in Maine, people spoke French! LOL!) During Prohibition, gangsters, like Al Capone, went there on a regular basis, by personal yachts, to purchase real alcohol, and not the kind made in a bathtub, back home, in the USA. Needless to say, I got 10/10 on this test. Keep it up, I find your videos very interesting, and akin to the Jay Leno, man on the street interviews, from reading your comment section! Have a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year! PS-Oh, I forgot. I used to own an adult-vocational-school and took an Educational Psychology class where I had learned how to write exams (and also how to take them). For me, my life has been c'est magnafique.
Sadly, I got all ten right. I wish you folks would really challenge our modern children, rather than feed them simple things that make them feel good about themselves... Ah well.
We scored 10/10, have to say easy questions. We still have fun and enjoy your program "THANKS", Keeps our minds alert as we get older. If we don't use it we'll lose it.

ethel newberry - It seems that this ‘Old Timer’ makes a habit of enticing people into watching his videos by presenting what are in fact rather easy general knowledge tests as being impossibly difficult. People expect to be challenged, and when they’re surprised at answering most of the questions on the test correctly, they’re delighted at their own perceived cleverness (flattery will get you everywhere) - and all this in an effort to get more views and attract advertisers. No harm done, and more power to his elbow - I’m all for people making an extra buck, especially students and pensioners - but click-bait all the same...
I had not heard of that one from 1970, but if it was the Ganges it could only have been Bangladesh of the 4 countries on there. There is a mistake however. Bangladesh was still part of Pakistan(east Pakistan/) until 1971.
The following year (1971) the country endured a vicious civil war which resulted in the creation of Bangladesh , formerly East Pakistan (Bengal). The famous "CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH" (Aug, 1, 1971) organized by former Beatle George Harrison on behalfof his friend Ravi Shankar was dedicated to the relief of refugees/victims of both catastrophes. (From the Encyclopedia of Useless Information).
August 1, 1971 @ Madison Square Garden, NYC. Organized by George Harrison(and others) on behalf of his friend Ravi Shankar. George had asked the other 3 Beatles to play as a sort of "Beatles Reunion" but only Ringo agreed.. All money earned officially went to UNESCO . The concert was recorded, followed by the release of an album and a movie about the event.(from the Encylopedia of Useless Knowledge).
@Denise Warner-Dodson Hollywood told you it was Zeus. It was Jupiter. Zeus sired Heracles. Now Hercules and Heracles are probably representing the same demigod in the two mythologies. Roman and Greek.
10/10. These quizzes are really quite easy apart from the odd obscure question.
10 out of 10 really not hard and 2 and 9 were quite
Easy ‼️‼️‼️‼️
YUP they were all too easy in fact.....
I got all the questions right
Exactly
Yep, me too.
No. 2 didn't have the correct answer available.
They're easy if you're an old fart like me
Hey there fellow old fart! :D
Much too easy.
Yep, me too.
Very funny haha
I prefer to think of us as "vintage"
Got them all. My son says I have an advantage, I didn't learn history, I just remember it.
Steve Christensen I’m cracking up 😂
Or the questions are so simple, it would take an uneducated fool to miss more than one or two out of ten.

Please repeat that?
Are you kidding me!? All ten with no problem. Bring on the hard ones!

Nailed it! 10 of 10. Really, when are you gonna make these quizzes challenging?

I enjoy these tests, makes no difference weather I get the all right or not. Great fun. Keep them coming👍
Try whether & them next time...
That's right,cudos to you Susan,doesn't matter if you get them all right it's just fun for you and fun for others,also fun for your brain
Got all of them, but I was singing with Paul Anka as a teenager.
I love these quizzes. Easy since I'm older, but the best thing for brain health. Keep them coming.
Scored 10 out of 10 right!😎 Back to playing in regular form! Questions were easy as I didn’t even have to guess on any! Fun quiz!🙏Thanks!
Got them all. But I'm seventy and have a good memory for this sort of thing.

Grade school for me. This stuff ... lol
Umm...try 6th grade.

anyone who doesn't get at least 9/10 was either born after 2000 or needs to go back to school
I had to say what questions to and nine were, so I took the quiz. Apparently all synapses are firing today, I got 10 out of 10
10 out of 10. Why do I keep hearing the theme from the Walton's TV show ?
I scored 10 of 10. Easy test.
Sadly, I got all ten right.

I got all ten of the questions correct because I love General knowledge quizzes and I also love a good challenge myself. I love your quiz.
10/10 this was a history quiz!! I want even alive for most of the questions 2&9 were easy
9-10
Got the Berlin question wrong.
