Fans absolutely dominated the pop culture questions — 97% correctly named baseball as Joe DiMaggio's sport and 96% nailed both the Korean War and Beatlemania — yet those same fans stumbled hard on Cold War politics, with only 68% knowing Stalin led the Soviet Union, not just 'Russia'.
The 'Moonshot' question was the quiz's biggest trap: while 76% got it right, a sneaky 11% confused the first moon landing with orbiting the moon, and 8% mixed it up with Sputnik — proving space history has some seriously blurry edges for Billy Joel fans.
