"When was America founded as a country?" and answering "1800BC"...

I had to stop watching it, cuz I was losing more hope in humanity.

I ask my guys simple math questions all the time and they can't answer them, and we are usually dealing in fractions so super easy.

Me: "the holes goes in the center, plate is 30 5/8", so what is half of that?"
Them: "ugh, 15 something"
Me: "to figure out half of a fraction double the denominator"
Them: "what's that?"
Me: "did you guys fail 4th grade?"

Was it all one take? I bet for every person that got something wrong, there were 100+ people that got it right. Also, things like that often edit the questions and responses to make the person seem stupid, so viewers share it with the same reaction as you

...and not only is it not "exactly blah blah...," It's not even close in spirit to what I intended to say.

Make them convert to metric before they divide. Tell them its because the metric system is easier.

They can't even count their ugga-dugga's without using both hands. What makes you think they can convert to metric

4 ugga-dugga's should be enough. On the other hand i see 7 ugga-dugga's is correct.
