"Some of these people may not speak English as their first language"
NONE of these people speak English as their first language

"Name 4 capitals Worldwide that have 4 letters.. in your Second language."

[evaggeliatheofanidou]

Most of them don't speak English as a first language. The first guy from Turkey failed the first few times because he didn't understand the question. Once he did he nailed it.

[KOfilms]

when they ask american's questions: where is china?
when they ask europeans: so what is the population of sweden?
incorrect u missed it by 3 people.

[TheMikl]

It is even harder when english is not your native language. In german Rome is written "Rom" for example.

[DorianGray]

"Some of these People might not speak english as their first language"... All of them...

[KrisThroughGlass]

'"some" of those people might not speak English as their first language' - almost no one did. Which makes the questions involving specific questions about names and letters so much harder, because the countries and cities often have other names in their native language.

[DenUitvreter]

The language issue in this is mostly that countries have different names in other languages so if asks for the letters in the country names or city names you have to think of the English name and ignore the ones in your first language.

[louseveryann]

So, you're asking Americans in their native language, but not the Europeans...

[daedalron]

Let's not forget that for most of them, the question is asked in their second language, which adds a bit to the difficulty.

[ideallogic]

Wait a minute, they get 20 Euro to answer hard questions but Americans get a 100 for getting simple ones right ?

[quaterman]

The following are real questions that are asekd in the US:

- What country is the Queen of England from? - Canada
- In what country is the Great Wall of China? - Japan | Texas | Europe
- Showing Clocks and asking what time it is - wrong answer
- What is 15% of 100? - 75 | 35 | 50
- In what country is the panama canal? - Spain
- when was the US founded? - 1800 b.c. | 1200 | 200 b.c. | 1658
- How many Moons does the earth have? - 4 | 3 | 12 | 8 | 30
- Who fought in the Mexican - Amercian war? - Philipines vs. I don't know | French revolution | I don't know

"can european answer simple geography question". "simple", yeah right 😅

[autarchprinceps]

Holy shit. American's got questions like name 3 continents, and Europeans get these? Some of these are nasty in front of camera, under time pressure.

[lamebubblesflysohigh]

American version of "name two capitals on northern coast of Africa" would be "name two capital cities".

[steel]

On the English language subject.
I was asked by an American, why we don't speak a European language in England.

[josephveksenfeld]

Growing up in Europe we had a Geography class in school. The teacher would call one of us to the front of the class and ask: You're sailing from (origin) to (destination). Without looking at the map name every ocean, sea, straights, and landmasses you will pass along the way. When I moved to the US as a teenager I was amazed that, not just kids, the adults couldn't even find their home state on the map, never mind their home town.

It's not only about education, it's about curiousness about the world and knowing you are not at the center of it.

[enlightendbel]

The reason Antarctica is the driest IS NOT because all the water is frozen, it's because it does really have the least precipitation of any kind of all the continents. There's very little snow or rain there.

The snow storms tend to just be wind picking up snow that was already there. There's very little outside H2O added or removed from the area.

This while other continents get plenty of water evaporated from the oceans fall on its land to then have their rivers transport said water back to the oceans.

[beldin]

Btw.: these were not really "simple" questions. In no way comparable to those in the US videos.
