Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Did any one watch this new game show? Its a dumbed down version of 'who wants to be a millionaire', but the twist is that all questions are from 5th grade textbooks, and your life lines are help from a panel of 5th graders.
The sad part is, the lady I was watching on the show STRUGGLED on some of the questions.
I liked it, it was a fun show that I could set down with the kids and play along.

School is tougher then when I went. The periodic tables for example were something I remember seeing once in highschool. You crammed enough in your head to get an A on the test then never thought of the subject for another twenty years. How someone in the first 5 grades know this stuff is beyond me. Although, when someone doesn't know ANYTHING...that's kinda funny.

I'm a college grad and I seriously can't answer nearly half the questions. Most of what you learn in school is forgotten within a short amount of time, unless you have a photographic memory, which most of us don't.
It just doesn't seem like grade school material. Jeff Foxworthy is the host?
It's yet another game show...BIG DEAL!

I think the Sun was the answer if I remember correctly (watched a few minutes) BTW Alpha Centauri is actually three stars with Proxima Centauri being the closest single star in the system...just went though an astronomy course at the local community collegeTim Burton wrote:Not counting the sun, Alpha Centuri....bubba wrote:How about the one where she had to stop and think what the closest star to the planet Earth was.
that show makes a lot of people look really stupid, these people are a disgrace to watch, but it is addicting to watch how stupid these people really are
