    How many “ correct answers” were ignored so he could concentrate on the few ignoramuses.
    I say “correct” because there hasn’t been a Queen of England since the Acts of Union in 1707.

    I think, a 5 year old knows the capital of US?
    Here, we're looking at people from UCLA, university students.
    Shame!

    Odd, I've never heard Elizabeth II referred to as Queen of the United Kingdom or Queen of Britain,
    but I've still often heard her referred to as the Queen of England.

    I'd think that her *title* was still Queen of England, even though, as a consequence, she was also
    Queen of Scotland, Queen of Wales, Queen of Canada, and indeed the Queen of the Commonwealth.

    You are still wrong. She was sovereign of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. You might hear people talking about the Queen or King of England but they were wrong. You might hear people call anyone from the UK English. They are
    wrong as well. I am English but people from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man, the Channel Isles are British (more correctly UK citizens) but not English. There is no King of England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, But there is a
    King of Canada.
    And, assuming that the ignorant interviewees were not under the influence of drugs or alcohol or were not paid shills, a system allowing people that ignorant to graduate from high school is either incompetent or corrupt.
