That man should listen to his wife she knows shit "365 1/4 days". That's why we have 29-day-February once every 4 years.

You cant judge them with a Trick Question, the reported is simply misleading them with the questions.
They are simply confusing the rotation of the earth (i.e. i see the sun then i dont see it, so its one day.)

even it if all sound stupid..but i think i know the picture in their minds...guess the ones who said one year think it needs 24h for the earth to revolve itself one time and 365 days to go around the sun :P 360 is one revolution..plus 5 we got the february thing :P

It looks like that a lot of people in Australia think that the Sun revolves around the Earth instead.

Again, you could take cameras to any nation on this planet and find similar results - substantial numbers of people just do not know basic facts about the orb they live on.

This was edited to show that only 30% did not know. All of these "do you know" videos are slanted to show whatever view of people the producers want to show.

Stick a microphone and a camera in just about anyone's face and they get brain freeze.
