There was a survey conducted in the early 80's, various questions, one most obvious was; "Can you locate the UK on a globe?". I think there was a failure rate of 30%.
Mind you, not as bad as the team from "The Chasers War on Everything" went to the US with a flat map of the world, with Australia labelled as North Korea. That was so funny.
