85% seems to be about par. I scored that too - wrong on a couple of the US questions (could a US Arachne enlghten us about Four Corners). But I'm ashamed to say I got the prime number question wrong as well! Always thought I was good at maths, certainly get very impatient with people who aren't. Serves me right! Capital of Australia no problem, I find names of capital cities is the sort of trivia that sticks. The ones I don't know are of newer countries - newly-acquired information doesn't stick in the brain as well as stuff I learnt years ago. Ageing brain, I suppose.
