Lack of awareness about basic facts of the world is a bad sign.

Would you want to marry a woman who didn't know how many continents there are? Or how many states? Or couldn't find Canada on a map?

You're going to entrust half the raising of your children to a woman who can't be bothered to learn the simplest things about the world they will inhabit?

The problem is your definition of what should be known by everyone is different than what someone else's definition would be.

I bet your wife could destroy you on basic kitchen knowledge. She would argue you're an idiot for not knowing basic kitchen knowledge because food is the most important thing for our survival.

So if you know nothing about our solar system I’m guessing you know fuck shit about history also. Some general knowledge helps a lot in this world. Most people don’t have any and that’s why history repeats itself so easily.

If she doesn't know the answer or provides the wrong country that's ok.  It's not a terribly easy question.

If she says, "Asia" you really chose wrong.

Define "Founding Father."

Do you mean the men involved in the American Revolution, or the men involved in the Constitutional Convention?

Ignoring the question of whether something needs to be visible to have an apparent magnitude,
I'll just say I guess that depends on what time of the month it is.
