Even people that don't know where Iran is located would say, "Well I know how many sides a triangle has, at least." I've said some really stupid shit when I've been put on the spot like that (in political discussions). I honestly don't think that represents someone's intelligence.
That being said, Geography does need to be drilled into the heads of these little brain dead fucks that are running around. But videos like this make it really difficult to travel in Europe.

Yeah, that is very true. I bet they warm them up with easy questions (like the triangle thing) to get the people confident, so that they will answer the harder questions confidently. It is really unfair. No doubt there are stupid people here, but they take out all the people who get the questions right.
As for geography, I am head and sholders better than the people in that video, but I actually want to be better. I am planning on buying a big map of the world and hanging it in my barren-walled room.
