Taking to TikTok, Mahan urged people to "test yourself with these eight quiz questions", kicking off with "what is the past tense of the word swim??"

Next, he asked what colour you'd get if you mixed blue and yellow, before asking for the name of the line that "separates the earth into northern and southern hemispheres".

"What's the process called when water turns into vapour?" Mahan asked next.

The next question asked the answer to "half of 58", followed by: "Who was the first female prime minister of the UK?"

Mahan then asked how many sides an octagon has, before questioning: "What's the term for an angle between 90 and 180 degrees?"

People in the comments section were quick to share their own feelings about the test.

"I’m genuinely worried for people who didn’t get 8/8!" one wrote.

"Finally a quiz I can get 100% on lol!" another added.

"8/8, if you ain't getting at least 7/8 (letting you slide in the Margaret thatcher question) then you're finished," a third insisted.

"FINALLY I GOT ALL CORRECT 8/8 (Margaret Thatcher was a guess)," someone else wrote.

"I’m 37 and super proud knowing all of them," another bragged.

"Easier than I thought, to be honest," someone else said.

However, others admitted they'd struggled with some of the questions.

"I got 6.. and believe me when I tell you I sat here so confident saying photosynthesis for number four," one sighed.

"How on Earth did I get five?!" another raged.

"I got three," a third admitted.

"Nahhh, I got two!" someone else said.

As another said they'd only "got one".
