Well, hello, everyone. I'm Chad Pergram, 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 ask people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Question one.

Who created the character Bond, James Bond? I have no clue. Ian Fleming. Da-da-da-da. That's right. Ian Fleming, 007. Question two. Betty Shabazz was the widow of what civil rights figure? Martin Luther King? Malcolm X. The answer? Malcolm X. So how are you doing so far? You know, these questions, they get tougher from here, so let's keep going. Question three.

Who is credited with creating the lost city of Atlantis? Olympus. Julius Verne. If you gave me a platonic answer there, you would be accurate. Plato is credited with creating the lost city of Atlantis.

Question four. Let's go to the big screen. At the 1977 Academy Awards, motion pictures All the President's Men, Bound for Glory, Network, and Taxi Driver all lost out on Best Picture. To what movie? Jaws. The Exorcist. The Towering Inferno? If you guessed Rocky, you would be correct. Play, share, listen. Question five.

Next. The Will Cain Show is now dropping five episodes a week. Join Fox & Friends weekend host Will Cain as he tackles the latest headlines from his unique perspective, along with thought-provoking interviews with leading figures and live calls from viewers and listeners. Listen wherever you download your favorite podcasts. Brace yourself. The moment you have been waiting for has come. Question five. Benjamin Franklin was the oldest person to sign the Declaration of Independence. Who was the youngest?

Jefferson. George Washington. Hamilton. And the answer is Edward Rutledge. So, how'd you do on the quiz? I think I would have gotten two, maybe three out of five there. That was pretty hard, even some of the political ones. I'm not sure I would have gotten it.

Either way, you can try again tomorrow. And if you missed any along the way, you can always find more quizzes at thequiz.fox. Then come back here to see how you did. I'm Chad Pergram, senior congressional correspondent for Fox News. And thank you for taking the quiz.
