Hi everyone, I'm Janice Dean, and it's time to take the quiz. ♪

This is the quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out. Five days a week, it's five questions in less than five minutes. We asked people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Question one. What is the oldest European-founded city in the United States? Boston. Boston.

Oh, that's St. Augustine. That would be St. Augustine, Florida. Question two. Who was the first European to land in North America? Virago Vespucci. Columbus? Leif Erikson. Okay, not bad so far, right? They get tougher from here. So let's get going. On to question three. Two sets of fathers and sons have served as presidents. What are their names?

John F. Kennedy and I don't know his dad's name, but yeah. John Adams and John Quincy Adams, George W. Bush, H.W. Bush. John Adams and John Quincy Adams and George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Did you get that one? Question four. What five countries acquired territories that would later become part of the United States territory?
