common knowledge on tests Options

[brooklyneast05]

i had an italian quiz today over nationalities. the quiz was set up by naming a city and then you had to name the nationality, like...

berlin - _______
rome - _______


well one city was alcupulco, and i didn't know where that was. so i missed the whole question just becuase i didn't now that was in mexico. i f**king hate when that happens.


i was using like every thing in my memory to try to narrow it down. i kept singing "come fly with me" in my head.

Weatherwise its such a lovely day
Just say the words, and well beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay



anyway have you ever missed questions like this? you actually knew the answer but the question assumed common knowledge you didn't know and threw you off?

I always forget that pie is 3.14 and i put in 3.45 for some reason.
I also (only once) put in that the capitol of the US was New York, even though I knew it was Washington D.C., but I thought it wasn't for some reason.

I hate questions like that, specially when you don't know the answer.
