There’s a big long list of these in https://web.math.princeton.edu/generals/, not just Tao’s.

I noticed that Evan O’Dorney’s generals was chaired by Bhargava and this question was asked:

  What is Brauer's theorem?
    [I had no idea and they moved on]
He clearly should have read Bhargava’s generals, where Andrew Wiles asks Bhargava the same question!

I think his generals are easier than Tao's. I wonder how many "average" PhD candidates worldwide can answer the questions in Tao's generals satisfactorily without difficulties. Many of them just seem highly research-oriented.

Quite a few future field medalists in that list. The collective math IQ of the group is off the charts!
