I would expect the proportion of kids in that age group that miss out on that question to be just as high or higher anywhere in Australia. Why not ask them to name the premiers of the 6 states of Australia. I would suggest that while most of them know the premier of their home state very few would know the rest unless they had been required to study them. (PS I know Qld, NSW and Vic but as for the rest ?)
However ask them the names of the top pop groups and the top tunes of the week and you would most likely get a perfect score!
It is all a matter of priorities. An average group of 6 to 14 year olds do not have the same priorities as a bunch of amateur astronomers!
