Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Glad you all liked the little test !! I note some comments that some questions are Americanised. If you can remember back when TV first hit Australia, that's all we had to watch. American shows, there were no, or very few Aussie Shows. It was some years later that the Government legislated that all free to air TV stations had to show a certain percentage of Australian content...
