Walk up to the high school in your neighborhood and ask these questions of
seniors.
1. What is 4% of 40?
2. Where, geographically, is Macedonia?
3. During what years did the American Civil War take place?
4. What is the symbol for gold?
5. Why do fireflies "flash"?
That should be a bit of coverage on most topics. After you do that, go ask
the same questions of your local college graduating class. Then ask them
of Japanese 8th grader students. I know where I'd put my money.
