Today, I couldn't answer almost any of the questions in the game "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" I'm a 40 year old man. FML

The questions on that show don't indicate intelligence. Almost all of the things they ask are about pointless knowledge that nobody truly learns in school. What they test people with is as pointless as a crossword puzzles. Remember, there's a difference between being smart and knowing things.

That show is SO beyond 5th grade. I was watching an episode my junior year of high school, and they asked a question that I had learned less than two weeks prior. And of course the fake 5th grader knew it. Bullshit!

Ok ppl, I have two very incongruent messages here 1. Chill the hell out 2. And all you ppl who think he's being stupid are arrogant assholes, I'm a straight A fifth grade student and that stuff is way over my head Oh and also, nirvana is the best band possible no argument

This isn't even a FML. 90% of the people on that show can't even answer those questions. They also have to look at the other kids answers.

Nothing wrong with that, it's useless bullshit just used for flaunting your trivial knowledge.

that's every one question. That is very bad grammar.

that show doesn't test how smart adults are, its shows how useless the information we learn in 5th grade is

don't feel bad. kids nowadays are learn a lot more materials than people of the older generation.

But some of those questions are really trivial. Most people won't remember them. Also agree with what #57 said. When I watch the show I ask why grade 5 kids need to learn this for half of the questions.

I just wanted to say that having bad grammar doesn't make you dumb. It just makes you a illiterate, but not necessarily dumb. Are all dyslexic/ADHD and other people with diseases that affect their mind/concentration dumb? No, not necessarily. They're just a little challenged.

Don't worry its called being American
