Americans Fail Common Sense Trivia Quiz!
# winterhaven weather conditions washington dc 9 11 attacks benjamin harrison caitlin bennett general knowledge john adams mercury patreon star spangled banner supreme court supreme court justices us presidents

Kaitlin Bennett tests Winterhaven pedestrians on common sense, revealing widespread ignorance regarding Supreme Court justices, Mercury's proximity to the sun, and the 2001 date of 9-11. Respondents struggle with basic facts like water freezing at 32 degrees, Washington D.C.'s location in Maryland, and Benjamin Harrison as the last bearded president. Despite correct answers on John Adams and The Star-Spangled Banner, the segment highlights a troubling lack of fundamental civic knowledge among Americans, prompting Bennett to seek Patreon support while filming indoors due to December weather.
