- And today we're doing a quiz

that apparently 77% of Americans fail

and it's about American history.

- So, these two Brits are gonna try it.

- We're gonna get more than 77%.

- Let me hear ya.

- Let me hear ya.

(laughs)

- Okay, ready?

- Yeah, let's give it a go. - Start the quiz.

- Let's cracked straight on, there's no point.

- No faff, no mess.

- No faff.

So, which of the following presidents did not die in office?

What does in office mean?

Like literally in their office?

(laughs)

- Oh my gosh, imagine if every president died at the desk.

- Yeah, but is that what it mean, like they died in--

'cause they spend a lot of time in their office.

- In their office, yeah.

No, it means, I think it means

which of the following presidents did not die

whilst they were in power?

- Oh, like in their post.

- In office, yeah.

In post, not in the office.

- In their role as president.

- Which president didn't die in the White House?

- Well, how do we know?

- Okay, so the options are Zachary Taylor,

Warren G. Harding

- Never heard of him.

- Never heard of him.

Maybe these are all, like none of them are gonna be--

- William McKinley, John F. Kennedy,

- [Both] Heard of him.

- Abraham Lincoln.

- [Both] Heard of him.

- So, we only know John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln,

so maybe this is a trick question.

- Wasn't Abraham Lincoln shot in a car?

He was driving and then they shot him.

- Still, I think that means--

- He was in office, oh yeah.

(laughs)

- You're still like, who wasn't in the office?

For that, we should pick him 'cause it's funny.

- Okay, let's pick the one that was shot in the car.

- The pritch president.

- We said Grover Cleveland.

(buzzes)

- Zachary Taylor.

- I've never heard of him.

He died in the office?

No, he didn't die in the office.

- Didn't die in the office.

- Where did he die?

Maybe out for dinner or something.

- Next question.

- Oh my gosh.

- What is Susan B. Anthony known for?

Don't know.

- So is she knows for leading the women's rights movement?

Is she known for making the first US flag?

Or being a western pioneer?

- Well, she looks like the kind of woman

who has led the female rights movement, doesn't she?

- But I've never heard of her name, though.

We would've heard of her.

- No, but we know more like the British

like Emmeline Pankhurst and those kind of people.

- Oh, I thought they were just worldwide.

- No, I think that the Brits.

- We know the Brits.

- Yeah, we know the Brits 'cause Meryl Streep played it

in that film with Carey Mulligan.

The Suffragettes, yeah.

- So, should we say women's rights?

- Let's just try women's rights.

She doesn't look like the kind of person

who would've made a flag--

- Or be a pioneer.

- Well, she might be a pioneer, but who knows?

(dings)

- We're right, Susan.

Susan was known for leading the women's rights.

Why have we never heard of her?

- Never heard of her.

- Again, 'cause we just focus on ourselves.

- All about us.

- Which of the following states does not have any land

that was acquired in the Louisiana Purchase?

I learned about this.

- Did you?

- In my presentation-- you just burped and that stinks

and you had a go at me for farting and now you've burped?

- I just didn't know that it was that bad.

- Smells like chicken flesh.

- Okay, well, apologies. - Accepted.

I own up to it, though. I burped.

You farted. (laughs)

- So, I learned about this when I was doing my preentation

on the Appalachian Mountains,

but that's not any else to do with this, I'm confused.

Anyway, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, or Mississippi.

- We're gonna have to do eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

- Or just pick the one you think is the most.

- Mississippi. - Mississippi.

We're right, Mississippi.

Well done, you guessed that.

- That was just a complete guess.

Didn't even read the question.

- Well done. - Thanks.

- Next.

- When was the attack on Pearl Harbor?

Should really know this, shouldn't we?

- That's a film, isn't it?

- I literally no idea.

They're just days.

December fifth, 1939, December seventh, 1941, it goes on.

I don't know.

- So, I say we go for--

- So it's only at Christmas,

and build up to Christmas.

What year?

- Which one's jumpin' out at you? (laughs)

- I think 1942.

I've got December ninth, 1942, I'm just like--

- Okay, we'll go for that then,

'cause I picked Mississippi for the last one.

- Okay, let's go for it.

- (sighs) It was December seventh, 1941.

- So, I was a year and two days off or something.

- So, is that the one we guessed?

Oh, I see.

- Oh well, where was the first battle

of the American Revolution?

- Oh, this is so hard.

Do you know about the American Revolution?

- I don't know what a revolution is.

It's just a fight, isn't it?

People are just fight, fight, fight

and then they fight and it's over.

- And then there's a big-- I don't know.

Is that the American Revolution in the picture?

- Yeah, they've got guns and hats and--

- It looks very civilized.

- It might be when they fight the British

because people keep banging on about Americans

defeatin' the British and I don't know, maybe that's how.

- We didn't learn about that.

- We don't learn about that.

Yorktown, Trenton, Saratoga, White Plains, Eutaw Springs.

- Let's call it Yorktown.

- Yorktown, okay.

- Yeah, it just seems like the kind of place

they might do that.

- Ah, Lexington and Concord.

- Not Yorktown.

- That's weird, is that where the Concord was made?

- Who knows?

- Who knows?

- What was the first US city to host the Olympics?

- LA, New York, St. Louie, or Atlanta?

Oh, St. Louis, not St. Louie.

(laughs)

I think St. Louis.

Atlanta-- I think it's LA.

The Olympics was at LA a few years ago and I think

that was the first time they had ever hosted it.

- Was it?

What year did LA have the Olympics?

- After us, so ours was the 2012.

- We had done London 2012.

- I think they hosted it.

- And then isn't it four years later, isn't it?

- Yeah, 2016.

No, it wasn't, that was in Beijing.

Oh no, Russia.

I'm confused.

- You remember there being an Olympics in LA?

- Yeah.

- Well, we'll go for that, then.

I just don't think they have enough space.

Yeah, not enough space in New York, definitely not.

It's St. Louie.

- That's got more space to hold it, look.

It just looks like the-- doesn't that look--

- LA is so spaced out, there's so much space in LA.

- But in the picture, (laughs) if you were like,

which one looks like Olympics?

You'd just click on that.

- Well, you can't build

an Olympic stadium on water, can you?

- But there's not that thing that you think--

that's quite Olympic.

- Well, you should've spoken up.

- I should've, I should've followed my instinct.

- Continue the quiz, click through.

- Okay, number seven.

- How many questions are there?

- Who knows?

- What was the first space mission to successfully

land on the moon?

Apollo 1, Apollo 8, 11, 13, 14, 18?

- Just go for 11.

- 11, okay.

(chimes)

Apollo 11, well done.

- Yeah, it's a film, isn't it?

- Is it? I thought it was 13.

That's Oceans 13, that's different.

- Maybe it is Apollo-- I think Apollo 11,

it just rang a bell, so I was like oh, it must be that.

- Well done.

What is the oldest institution of higher learning

in the United States?

William and Mary, Princeton, Harvard,

Yale, Cornell, Georgetown?

Harvard?

- I would say Harvard, yeah.

- That's all we hear about.

- That's what we hear about, Harvard and Yale,

but Harvard more so.

- Amazing, Harvard, we knew it.

- Ding, ding, ding.

- We're so clever.

- Aren't we?

Who is the second president of the United States?

- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams,

John Quincy, John Madison, Andrew Jackson.

Literally, heard of no one except George Washington.

- It can't be him, obviously.

We're gonna have to go for who has the oldest name.

John Quincy sounds quite old.

Let's go for him.

I also quite like that, Quincy.

- Quincy, isn't he a detective?

- He's a coincidence. (laughs)

- Quincy, co-inci-dence.

- Oh, it was John Adams.

So close for going for John Adams.

- Oh, not Quincy, it was Adams.

- Four score and seven years ago.

- Four score, what does that even mean?

107, 207 or 407.

- This quiz is boring.

- [Both] Oh my gosh.

- We're gonna be in detention.

I don't think it is, but.

- Yes, 87.

Four score.

You said that.

- No, you did.

I was like it can't be 87.

No, that's the second amendment, isn't it?

It was like
