There is a show here in American called "are you smarter than a 5th grader?" and it tests you on questions you would have learned in 5th grade (around 10 or 11yrs old). Sometimes the answers are really funny b/c the people are being asked questions they knew, but haven't used in years. This is one such video:

OMG! How did she get up to $10,000

She'd be great on Jay Leno's jaywalking.

I agree! I was embarrassed for her and was shaking my head when she thought Europe was a country. Wonder what she was doing during her education? How did she make it this far in life not knowing basics?

I would do so bad on this show. I am not smarter than a fifth grader. LOL

 

[4Katie]

I agree. I'm smarter than some people (like the woman in that clip!), but those 5th graders are SMART.

I would have missed this question, so I do feel some empathy for her. The whole time I was thinking

I've seen this show a few times. They have some criminally stupid people on it.

It is hard to remember stuff from so long ago. But then again, most 5th graders wouldn't pass this test either.

I enjoy watching these shows for when the answers to the questions are actually incorrect or are definitive when the answer is far more complex. E.g. Q: Wow do trees get water to the leaves? The answer is not surface tension. Q: What is a female sheep called? This is a ewe, but they gave the answer as a whether.

I don't often see a single person epic fail three times in a video.

I can't help but shake my head because:

• she thought that Europe was a country.
  
• she was unsure if France was a country or not.
• she had never heard of Hungary.

Our wether would be outraged! He takes it upon himself to protect the ewes from such dangerous beasts as the small, fluffy dog that sometimes comes over from next door.
