Problem is they don't need to know that so they simply don't/can't remember.Posted by Mark (Star Mariner) (here)
Wow...utterly shocking. Those questions would be insultingly easy for a ten year old (in my day). They probably know how many made-up genders there are, but can't tell you how many minutes are in an hour, weeks in a year, or dimes in a dollar, which even I, a non-American, knew at aged ten.

Younger kids aren’t stupider than older generations. They are just overwhelmed with much more information at their fingertips than older generations could even dream of as a kid. No capacity left for unattractive info like simple math and basic geography.
I just hope they will survive, learn to have empathy and love.
100 years ago many kids didn't know how to write their name. They worked in a field and didn't care much for education.
Different times, different challenges.
