No way. Obviously more people here are gonna know it because there's more math inclined people, but still. I'm 90% sure I knew what googol and googolplex were when I was in 2nd grade, though I thought it was spelled 'google' until like high school, lol. I would guess that something like 10-30% of university students would know the answer to that one.
I've never watched the UK version until this, but on the US version I rarely know any answers above 64k.
