March 6, 200719 yr I don't like this show, I really don't think that it proves anything. Just because these kids remember things that they've been taught recently, they're smarter than a UCLA grad? No, that's completely idiotic. It makes no logical sense whatsoever. The people don't remember these things because they don't need to remember them, it's rather useless information. If the kids are smarter than the people on the show, then they should be able to do the jobs that those people do everyday. But can they? Absolutely not, not by a long shot. The show is stupid, and basis for it is even more ridiculous. If you can't see that, then you're in dire need of common sense.
March 6, 200719 yr That bear question doesn't seem like something that 5th graders would learn. Also, I doubt that any 5th grader that watches that show would get more than 50% of the questions right. And about the bear, was it a polar bear? Grizzly bear? Kodiak bear? you know there is a place called outside, better graphics 100% pvp and no fee to play :-w
March 6, 200719 yr Jeff Foxworthy tries too hard. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
March 6, 200719 yr That sounds like a good show. Can you tell me what show it is on and what time and days it is on. I think i have heard of it. Thanks to Hardwick246 for the sig
March 6, 200719 yr I noticed they always put dumb adults up there, by purpose. I never had any problems answering the questions. Except the astronomy questions, since we don't learn that subject in canadian schools. 2480+ total
March 6, 200719 yr Being on that show would be great, People let knowledge slip their mind to fast. Now if I went on :pray: Im back :p

March 6, 200719 yr I watched that show last night. It makes me mad. I would win it so fast. I couldn't believe it when this one lady could barely answer, "What star is closest to Earth?". She finally got the question right but lost on, "How many decades are in two millenia?". It's like Who Wants to Be A Millionaire but so much easier. [omg], that is easy for me. The sun is the VERY obvious answer for star. Decades and millenia should be easy. millenia is from celebrating the year 2000. So you know it's in intervals of 100 at the very least because not a once in a lifetime thing for everyone. Then it talks about 2000 being our 2nd millenia, so... Decade is 10 and used often in bio and stuff. Lol this is just so funny, so it's 200, unless i messed up my math. A millenia is only 1000 years :-$ so it would be only 100 decades in a millennia (100x10 = 1000) not so easy after all eh ;)

Reading is an everyday skill in life, and you missed it. How is this possible? Refer back to the original question, HOW MANY DECADES ARE IN TWO MILLENIA? Obviously even basic, everyday skills are not being put to use. I hate this society.

March 7, 200719 yr [omg], that is easy for me. The sun is the VERY obvious answer for star. Decades and millenia should be easy. If you wanted to be more accurate, you'd say 'Sol'. Cool.
March 7, 200719 yr The idiot lady thought Mexico had a longer border with the US than Canada does with the US. And yes, it was the Sun, as it is the closest star, the category was like first grade astrology or something. Or like how this lady could only name 3 states that border the Pacific Ocean She forgot ALASKA! How freaking hard is that... Then how she had to use a life line to figure out what the biggest type of bear is. I was yelling Polar Bear at the screen. She makes me mad: Personally, the bear question doesn't seem all that easy. What were the other choices? Good thing I wasn't on the show. I thought it was the Grizzlly :-w [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

March 7, 200719 yr The thing is, the show is using different questions than adulta would expect. In everyday life, we don't need to care what's the closest star. We dont care what the biggest bear is. We don't care what month columbus day is (we only care if we get that day off!). They ask questions that adults let slip from their minds a long time ago. Any adult who goes on the show expecting it to be easy is a total moron. If the questions were that easy, why give $1mil for answering them? So, the show mortally embarrasses you, takes all your dignity, asks questions you never saw coming, doesn't give any dignity reward after you win (you answered grade school questions!) and they ofer 1 million for any brave yet foolish soul who dares to try his luck. Obviously, the contestants only heard the part about 5th grade questions and winning money, not bothering to think the whole issue through. Then in the end when they're forced to say they're not smater than a fifth grader, they claim it was because they just got hard questions. The only guy was honest that he was beaten fair and square was the very first guy on the show, who only got 3,000 dollars for his work, which he couldn't answer a single one of those questions without a lifeline.

March 7, 200719 yr Oooooo darn that's embarrassing :oops: Just goes to show even the best can be wrong sometimes right :-w
March 7, 200719 yr The show should be called: "are you smarter then a fifth grader who has been told the answers?" funny to watch idiots though. :roll: Hegemony-Spain
March 9, 200719 yr Yesterday they had the question "What geologic age are we currently in?" The answer was Cenozoic. Now tell me, what 5th grader knows THAT? :roll: you know there is a place called outside, better graphics 100% pvp and no fee to play :-w
