Re: How much would you pay to be on Are you smarter than a 5th Grader?
I am way smarter than just about any fifth grader, and was when I was a fifth grader too.
However this show obviously is completely rigged. The kids essentially get every question correct. How can every kid know that there are 15 teaspoons in 5 tablespoons. I did know this one, but the point is the kids get them right >90% of the time. They must tell them the questions and answers before hand, or give them a small set to study.
Many of the questions have absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, and are just a matter of knowing some random fact. If you took a group of brilliant NASA scientists, I bet they wouldn't do as well as the kids on this show. There is something wrong with this show.
