Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grade History Student?
Earlier this year, Fox brought back the popular Jeff Foxworthy-hosted quiz show, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" The premise of the show is straightforward enough, but the effect of watching is not. While I can always count on Jeopardy! to make me feel dumb, "Are you Smarter Than..." usually just leaves me feeling unretentive, reminding me of all the things I once knew but forgot. How does your grade school memory fare? Test yourself with these real-but-unused questions from the show.
