Hey everyone, I'm Sean Duffy, host of The Bottom Line on Fox Business Network and also the host of From the Kitchen Table podcast. If you haven't caught it, you should check it out. It's a pretty awesome podcast. All right, it's time to take the quiz. This is the quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out.

Take the quiz now at thequiz.fox. All right, this is five days a week. It's five questions in less than five minutes. We asked people on the street of New York City to play along. Let's see how you're going to do. Question number one. Which month of the year consists of only 30 days? All of them except for February. March. April. June. September. November. October.

The answer is April, June, September, and November. And if you learned a little trick when you were a kid to count on your knuckles, really easy. Question number two. Are you ready? Which of these states was not one of the original 13 colonies? Pennsylvania, Vermont, Rhode Island, or South Carolina? South Carolina. Pennsylvania. Vermont. Vermont.

Answer is Vermont. Vermont was not one of the 13 original colonies. Sorry, Vermont. How are you doing? See, it's not so bad so far, but again, it's going to get tougher as we go on. All right, let's move to question number three. How many keys does a grand piano have? 108. 108.

I don't know, 90? 52? The answer? It's actually 88. I had no idea. It's 88. All right, question number four. In what year was the first U.S. baby born by in vitro fertilization or IVF? 1993. I think it was 98. It's the shot in the dark. 1955.

So all you millennials and Gen Zers probably have no idea, but the year would actually be 1981. Play, share, listen. Have you taken the quiz yet? You should. Go to thequiz.fox every weekday so you can play along. Question number five. That's next.

The time has come. The moment is here. I know you've all been waiting for it. This is going to be a tough one. All right, question number five. Here it goes.

Shakespeare's Macbeth took place in Inverness, Scotland. Romeo and Juliet was set in Verona, Italy. Othello was mainly set in Venice, Italy. And what island nation? Sicily. I don't know, Spain. Malta. All right, close, but no cigar because the answer is Cyprus. So how did you do in the quiz? Did you get them all right? Some right, some wrong?

This is a test of your knowledge on how much you know. But listen, if you want to talk about it, or maybe you don't, I don't know, want to share your answers. Do you want to try again tomorrow? Because we do this five days a week. New questions with new answers, testing your knowledge. Make sure you tune in to take the quiz every weekday at thequiz.fox. Then come back here to see how you did, what the answers are. Did you get it right? Did you get it wrong? I'm Sean Duffy, and thank you for taking the quiz.
