Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

Nine of 10. Might've gotten fewer, though, if I hadn't read the thread first. (Would've had to guess on the equinox and fastest-bird questions). Whiffed on the house of reps question against my better judgment. I knew I had the wrong answer and went with it anyway.

 

You have to pass fifth grade, first...

 

I think this was the guy who didn't know the answer to 2 X 5

 

For anyone who cares, it's been 12 minutes. The show is 40 percent over and we've heard one answer.

 

I believe there were only six (maybe seven) questions asked and answered during the show. I'm never watching again.

 

The contestant tonight (Larry, I think?) had no business taking that $100k and deciding to stop playing. That was an utter embarassment of adults everywhere. If you don't know 75% of the material that is on that show, you are a fucking jackass. I should know: I was one of those kids that was on the show twenty years ago.

I was the fat chubby smart kid who could outsmart a college kid with a 3.5 GPA back in the day. My three year niece can kick my sorry ass now. I'm insulted by these fools Fox finds to put on these shows.

 

If you're still watching this show next week, you most certainly aren't smarter than a fifth grader.

 

Saw the first contestant on the March 1 show.....He kept trying to add the word "The" to the phrase "Pledge Of Allegence" when Foxworthy asked the question, "how many Es in the Pledge Of Alligence."

Foxworthy had to literally get in his face and try to get him to comprehend that "the" was not part of the phrase in question, before this lummox caught on. He claimed to have a college degree and be in middle management. I don't think he proved himself well.

As for the show itself, did not watch from start to finish, got more interested in the Bob Woodard interview on Larry King.

 

Where is the test for this? If this show is still on in six months -- after my Jeopardy moratorium ends -- I'm there.

Saw this the other night. As my wife and I are screaming "CANADA" at the television, I didn't think it was possible to devalue a Southwestern CC degree any further.

I thought wrong.

 

This was the same man that wanted to buy a camouflage Lambo with his winnings,
