Some people will say anything to mess with the system. Where were you born: Saturn.  What is your name: centuries ago my people called me Saturn, the god of war, today I am known as Joe. How many sides in a triangle: in two dimensions there are eight.  But yes, generally speaking people are not as well educated today as 40 years ago.  In some places you do not even have to show up to school in order to pass.
