New Year's Eve Quiz challenge.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader? I’m not sure that I am. LOL Jeff Foxworthy asked some tough questions.

This quiz asks 19 questions that most kids should be able to answer. Requires about 5 to 10 mins to take.

Can their parents do as well?

I missed one. Question 12. I eliminated two obvious wrong answers. Giving me a 50/50 shot at guessing right. Geography was never my best subject and I studied it 45 years ago. I’ve slept since then. :smiley:

There are several questions that requires a bit of thought. Question 19 frustrated me but I finally figured it out.

2

Missed number 19. Oh, right. Forgot about that one.

3

19/19, although you can hear sounds in space. How do you think the astronauts spoke to each other on the way to the moon? You just need a pressurized compartment.

4

17/19. I messed up on Stalin and Lenin, and thought the bombing at Pear Harbor was a year later.

5

Got all 19. Surprised it wasn’t harder.

Thought the wording on one question was bad. They should’ve specified bubonic plague, not just plague. A plague can mean any kind of widespread disease.

6

Same here. Took a little over a minute.

7

I missed 2, one was the scrambled letters, I should’ve put more thought into it.

8

I wonder if kid’s would do that great on this quiz?

Stuff we find easy, they might not have covered in school. I’d hope kids would at least get 14 out of 19 right.

9

I got 18 right. Missed 19 but got #6- longest river wrong.

My bold. Every time you use an apostrophe to make a word plural, a puppy dies.

10

Question 6 is pretty controversial.

For many years the Nile was considered the longest.

Now some say it’s the Amazon.

Google hits alternate saying one is longer than the other.

Difficult to say because rivers have so many twists and turns. Any length you see cited is an estimate.

I used to tell my daughters to put down whatever the teacher said in class. A test isn’t the time to debate which river is longer. :wink:

11

Only one I missed was #6. Frigging geography.

12

Me, too. But I claim fuzzy measurements. :smiley:

13

Notice 229 views and 11 responses?

I know exactly what that tells me.

14

19 out of 19.

15

18/19. The Amazon was longer when I was in school; must be the depletion of the rain forest making it shorter. That, or the Gill-Man damming up all the tributaries.

16

18 out of 19. I picked the Amazon as the longest river.

17

Same here. Seems to be a trend.

Question is, How do the majority of 5th graders do?

I find it hard to believe that “most adults” can’t ace this. Bullshit clickbait.

18

Cite?

19

Same here with the Amazon. Got the rest.

20

This. Lots of dead puppies on these boards.
