They don’t need to have the knowledge memorized. They had full access to google and a dictionary to look up anything they found confusing, and couldn’t even do that. The test was of their ability to figure out a somewhat difficult text, not of their historical knowledge.
I didn’t clock that they had Google access when reading through it earlier, I thought they were limited purely to a dictionary/encyclopedia lookup. That does make it a little more damning.
