Anyone remember the game Leisure Suit Larry? To get the full 18+ experience, you had to answer five trivia questions that only adults should know. But it turns out smart teens who like trivia knew most of them too (and you could just ask mom and dad, they had no clue why you were asking which President appeared on Laugh In).
Also, hilariously, a lot of those questions require a trip to Wikipedia (or a game guide) today. A lot of them reference bits of 1960s/1970s pop culture which are no longer common knowledge.

This is fun, I asked AI to come up with some modern ones to check someone is over 30. Zune, Friends, early memes, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, etc https://chat.deepseek.com/share/v9d5ckb8gv9rahwetq

A lot of them don't. Some appear to be specialized for children:
> Peter Piper picked pickled (peppers)
> How many molecules are there in a glass of water? (as many as there are)
There's also this one:
> Which is not a city in Mexico? (San Diego)
which appears to have been false at the time, and is still false now.
Spiro Agnew is a form of social disease, a jazz-fusion rock band, a former Vice President, the first woman in Congress?
