Several years ago there was a questionnaire of some sort for high school
students asking them to identify the two countries that border the
United States. An astounding number could not answer correctly.
I would have to search for the specific incident, if I can find it I'll
post it to the off-topic list.

Apparently my memory was quite good.
A retired school psychologist was kind enough to verify that the
question is one in the subtest on Information on the Wechlser
Intelligence Scale for Children, an individually administered IQ test
which is widely used in the US. The psychologist indicated that they
had asked that question many times and that it was amazing how many
youngsters had no clue. There were a lot of other general information
questions they could not answer, also.
