Could I just say that I think the Venn Diagram of "People who know Zelda and the Ninja Turtles" and "People who know Gulliver's first name" would show an almost vanishingly empty set.
I don't play video games, but know plenty of people who do, AND I am mostly aware of pop culture (yes, I'm including the TMNT in there, although I know some people will disagree), AND I am a certified English nerd who reads Shakespeare for fun. The boundaries can definitely overlap. Agree with joeythelemur below, though. It took me quite a while to remember Gulliver's first name as well, even though I knew immediately to whom the clue was referring.
Not sure why you'd say that, I'd actually expect a positive correlation between people who got the Gulliver's Travels question and people who got the TMNT and Zelda questions right. Reading is already seen as a nerdy hobby and reading fantasy is seen as being even more nerdy, plus Zelda is a fantasy game series so there's a good chance fantasy fans will have heard of both.
It's updated now to 89% and 82%, but it is still a weird discrepancy. brandybuck96, HermioneGranger9 is pointing out that if you've seen the Star Wars movie(s), you should know both, but there's a rather large difference. (I think most men remember her form, forgetting her name. Especially in that bikini.)
I think I remembered his name only as Samuel. I guess for Germans that name makes more sense. Of course, that doesn't start with L, so I tried Liliputians instead, and got lucky that type-in has just been included.
Man. Tough time finding an acceptable spelling of Louie. I thought their names were all spelled the same, and it was Huey, Duey, and Luey. That didn't work, so maybe they're spelled Hewey, Dewey, and Lewey. No love there, either. Louis? Still no. Apparently it's Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Who knew?
Same here, I tried about 10 different spellings bit didn't get the right one.
Actually, in Germany the names were changed and the only reason why I new the names at all was the movie "Silent Running", where 3 robots were named after them.
(Plus Linus is like the third character isn't he?)
