"Alexa, how much is the euro worth?"

"Alexa, who was the British Prime Minister in 1863?"

She mostly can answer; sometimes she surprises me when she gets an obscure person right.
I realize a lot of people find it useful, but I always seemed to be able to stump her regularly. And if there's one thing that bugs me, it's hearing her repeatedly say "Hmmm. I don't know that."

Just knowing that she can't access Google's wealth of knowledge discourages me from even bothering. It's always been like pulling teeth when I've tried, so I guess I stopped trying. Now I just tell her stuff.
