Shownotes Transcript

Hey, everyone. I'm Emily Austin, 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. I cannot tell a lie. According to American legend, which president is said to have chopped down a cherry tree? Abraham Lincoln. George Washington.

That's right, George Washington. Question two. Dora. I know it's My Little Pony. Strawberry Shortcake.

That's strawberry shortcake, duh. All right, not bad so far, right? But hold on, they get tougher. Let's keep going. On to question three. For a time, the BlackBerry was one of the most popular cell phones, but it didn't start out that way. What kind of device was the first BlackBerry? I don't know. I can't think of it. A tablet? No.

It was the pager. Question four. Before going on to create the successful tech empire we know today, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs dropped out of college after just one semester. Which school did he attend? MIT. UCLA. The University of Washington. If you guessed Reed College, you're correct. Play, share, listen. Question five is next.

All right. Are you ready for this? Because this is the moment you've been waiting for. Question number five.

Also called the Bloodless Revolution, what is the name for the series of events that involved the peaceful overthrowing of King James II and the ascension of William of Orange? I can't think of it. The Thirty Years' War? No clue. The French Revolution. And the answer is the Glorious Revolution.
