How much do you know about the world?

Can you name the world's most spoken primary language? The largest consumer of oil? The most heavily fortified border on the planet? The current population of the U.S.?
Nationanl Geographic tested the geography knowledge of 18- to 24-year-olds across the U.S. to see how much they know about our world. More know where the TV show CSI is set than can find Iraq on a map. The survey shows that too many young Americans have a limited understanding of the world. But do American adults do better? TEST YOURSELF: How much do you know?
