I will say that I was one of those people that knew this kind of thing at that age. I was aware of current politics, even at 14 (and younger). Didn't know everything, but a lot of that was due to parents and people around me that had fun learning all 50 states, capitals, countries, etc. Though people don't like to admit it, there's a bell curve that says that certain people are going to be smart, and others are going to be dumb as a brick. I figure (and hope), I'm somewhere in the middle upper area. Though I'm pretty certain I've done some dumb things too
I'm sure those kids who were answering the questions knew everything about Jersey Shore, Twilight and Justin Beiber though. Important stuff...
