considering that apparently 11% can't locate the PACIFIC OCEAN!

reminds me of Marine Biology class back in High School. We had a project where you had to create a "fish" based on facts about it's habitat (ones that live near reefs are colorful, open ocean dwellers are sleek for swimming etc.)

We also had to trace a map and mark the locations the teacher gave.
The other kids were so stupid, they couldn't find some of the simple locations, so finally with the teachers blessing I went to "The Big Map" and started pointing out locations to whoever came up.

What's interesting is that the others were amazed, like I was explaining rocket science or something, while to me this was just facts I picked up through my interest in WWII and wargaming, in other words, nothing special.
