The original survey which spat out that statistic asked students to find "the United States" on a map. When students found the *continental* US, but forgot to also point to Alaska and Hawaii, they were counted as "not being able to find the US on a map". Does anyone really think that's a fair assessment of those student's answers? How many students from the UK were dinged for not being able to find their home country on a map because they forgot to also point out the Isle of Man?
That said, it sounds to me like this girl had a set answer in mind already, and was bound and determined to shoehorn it into whatever question was asked of her.
