A lot of these questions ask for facts or numbers you can look up. It would be almost impossible to remember all the facts. More challenging questions would be more intuitive and require some thinking not regurgitation of facts. Those would be difficult in that you know everything you need to answer the question, but need to integrate what you know to find the solution.
