Last week the results of a general knowledge quiz saw large gaps in New Zealanders understanding of basic maths, geography and history. The survey by the New Zealand Initiative quizzed 1000 voting-age New Zealanders.
This week, First Up is running our own quiz to see how "onto it" our audience is at 5 o'clock in the morning.
