Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader

[Erzengel]

I was laughing at some of these people on the show but actually a few of the questions stumped me.

Who was the first President to be impeached?

Spoiler

Andrew Johnson

I knew Clinton was wrong but it was the only name that came to mind.

How many teaspons in 5 tablespoons?

Spoiler

15, 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon

I thought there were 4 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.

Which is the largest bear?

Spoiler

Polar

I honestly thought it was a grizzley.

 

[Crooklyn]

I only got the last one right.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i only watched a bit of it. but the premise osunds funny a shell.

 

[November Rain]

I wouldn't have known any of them...

but there are many things that i don't know...

 

[deathshead2]

What no fifth grader knows that info.

 

[Crooklyn]

What no fifth grader knows that info.

My friend told me that the kids wear earpieces so that seems a bit shady. When I catch the show I'll be on the look-out for those.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

The last one is a point of contention as it depends on how you define largest. The Kodiak is sometimes deemed the largest bear.

Average Weight of Mature Male
Polar: 900-1,500 pounds
Kodiak: 500-900 pounds

Heaviest Recorded
Polar: 2,210 pounds
Kodiak: 2,500+ pounds

Average Length of Mature Male
Polar: 8-8.4 feet
Kodiak: >7-10 feet

C) 90 Percent

Spoiler

I thought it was 80.

 

[deathshead2]

I didn't learn that stuff till high school.

 

[Matt.S99]

some of the questions arent even elementry school questions,at least here
we only learned about the periodic table in 9th grade

 

[Erzengel]

I learned about chemistry before High School. I want to say 8th grade tops.

Another question.

What element on the periodic table is represented by Na?

Spoiler

Sodium

 

[deathshead2]

They must go to some advanced private school.

are you saying you did'nt know that?

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Well listen, a fifth grader was told how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon, like, a couple months ago.
I was told in, like, 1981.
It hasn't come up a lot since then, Mmmkay?

 

[Erzengel]

are you saying you did'nt know that?

I knew that one because salt is a very common formula NaCl.

Also I helped my gf when she took Chemistry like last year.

If I'm ever on a gameshow like this and they have lifelines, I'm using you as a lifeline for obscure pornographic paraphernalia.

You must not be a geek. Every geek knows th^t.
Proof:

"'Signs' sawked! You're telling me that water kills the aliens, but they decided to invade a planet that's SEVENTY PERCENT WATER?!? "

 

[Erzengel]

71 actually. I blanked.

 

[kane9321]

great show..half
of those damned questions stumped me

 

[Mee]

Out of the ones you've posted Erz, I only didn't know the President one.

Andrew Jackson was impeached?

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Yeah, some of the questions there are super easy but I saw some last night & the brunette lady's questions were hard. I didn't know any of those.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

The Oceans of the World encompasses how much of the planet's surface?
A) 70 Percent
B) 80 Percent
C) 90 Percent

Spoiler

A) 70 Percent

I thought it was 80.

Humans are 80% water. The Earth is 70%. That's usually how people get those confused.

And what fifth Grader would know Andrew Johnson was the first President to be impeached...they probably wouldn't know what impeachment is.

It is a close call, but the polar bear is generally considered the largest bear on Earth. A close second is the brown bear, specifically the Kodiak bear. The Kodiak is a subspecies of the brown bear native to Alaska.

The consensus among experts is that the polar bear is the largest, but some believe the Kodiak bear to be larger. Part of the dissension comes from the vagueness of the word "largest." The answer really depends on how "largest" is defined - Heaviest? Longest? Largest ever recorded?


So technically, we are sort of right. Some experts agree with us.
