thats sad i've watched the show twice and i've known all of the answers as soon as the questions were asked, they are way to easy.

and how do you not know when Lincoln was elected
and its 16 cups to 1 gallon, so 5.5 times 16, not that tough

actually, the questions are really easy, but easily forgettable...its pretty much all the stuff you learn that you will never use again

it would be pretty easy to get a shit ton of money if you studied 1st-5th grade text books for a month.

It really is pointless shit.  If I wanted to know how many cups are in a gallon, I'd google it.   All those questions are pretty much useless. Compare my math or science skillz to a 5th grader and I'll pwn the shit out of them.

i watched it for a few minutes the other day, and there were a couple questions that were way harder then 5th grade. its also kind of pointless to air in canada, since all the history and crap is all american.

What the hell are you trying to say? You should try these things called sentences, I hear they're really good at seperating radically different ideas.

yea, actually youre wrong...i too knew every answer within 10 second of him asking it, except for one, which i could have used the aids like cheat or copy...the questions are wicked easy and i would love to be on that show to get a free million with no sweat.  that being said i watched it for the first time last night, but the fucker didnt know what month summer ended in!!  but thanx

also a Jay Leno jaywalk all-stars rip off.

I like the concept and think that the questions are fairly easy, but the contestants are really dumb. Their participation makes me feel dumber having watched. Also there is far too many commercials and not enough questions between commericals to make viewing particularly enjoyable.

think of it this way: if you were to ask 5th graders 12th grade questions, they wouldnt know. for us, its memory when you ask those questions

I didn't know when lincoln was elected or how many cups were in a gallon. I fuckin hated how long it took people to answer the questions though.

the whole "are you smarter than a 5th grader" thing is retarted. they obviously have kids that are the top of their class that were most likely taught that shit right before the show. the episodes i saw sucked the growup didnt get one right and had to ask the kids everytime then took the money and left. who the hell knows dates of presidents?

she could be talking about the time period that he was actually president... presidents are elected on even years, but inaugurated in january of the next year which would be odd.
