Makes a lot of sense if they're children of immigrants. Isn't London supposed to have loads of them? I was laughing at the most absurd answers, but I truly don't know the answers to some of those questions. That'd be more shocking if I were a Brit, I reckon, but I'm not :p |

You'd kinda hope they would know the basics like that's not right->
26. Who was Hitler?
Invented gravity in 1650
Scotland - 4.03
London - 38.46
I reckon they must have just been taking the piss when doing these surveys. |

I'm sure they were. I just picture five, six and seven year-olds when I read "children." Ask any child that age who Hitler was and most won't be able to give you an accurate answer. |

^ somewhere it said kids aged 9-15
Still, this is England right, kids there take the monumental piss |

| But, the point is: are they taking the piss because they don't know what the true answers are, or are they mocking the test because they find it insulting? I'm tempted to say it's a little bit of both (hell, if I ever took a test that asked me whether Hitler invented the gravity, I don't think I'd even consider any other impossible option). |

Their sense of humour, most likely. And a probable cluelessness about what it actually was. |
