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!

It's alright. those questions aren't anything like what they learn in fifth grade. I'm a high school junior and I miss a few.

I don't even remember learning half the stuff on that show. You're not exactly alone.

And I thought the world of fourty-year-old men could sink no lower. I'm a high school drop-out. I know more than my boss does about computers and grammer. I also know how to research and write an academic paper. I learned things that renders me able to answer everything on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? before the little twerp does. I'm only fifteen.

wow, you need to go back to school and learn more than those basic facts, a grasp on the english language might also be useful.

#5 and 16 FTW. The only reason those kids know that shit is because they learned it 5 minutes before the show started and they had to memorize it. Don't feel bad about your grammar or spelling anyway OP because even with the spellcheck system built in to the comment box, some of these people spelled words wrong or used incorrect grammar. Learn how to check your own English before criticizing others you over judgmental asshats.

Then stop watching TV and learn stuff by READING. Bitching to us about it won't help.

I wouldn't be too hard on the guy. I read a lot, but there are still questions that stump me on that game show. A lot of the questions they actually ask is something you really don't learn in elementary school :/
