Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?: Back with the HD episodes, before he tries to win the hot dog eating title in the Big Apple tomorrow, Joey Chestnut's here to try and win a lot more money than what he could win by eating the hot dogs! After he demonstrates his hot dog eating skills to the class and the studio, he selects Jenna as his first partner and here are the categories:
1st Grade Spelling
1st Grade English
2nd Grade Vocabulary
2nd Grade Life Science
3rd Grade Astronomy
3rd Grade Animal Science
4th Grade Health
4th Grade U.S. History
5th Grade Social Studies
5th Grade Math
His first category is Spelling.
Spell the name of the following U.S. state- Iowa.
He spells it correctly to get on the board. He then clears off the 1st Grade row with English.
When reciting the alphabet, how many vowels come before the letter P?
He locks in four, which is correct. After making Bryce his second classmate, his third topic is 3rd Grade Astronomy.
If Kassidy goes outside and sees a "blue moon", what phase of the moon would she see?
He's pretty sure and right that's it's a full moon. 2nd Grade Life Science is his $10,000 subject:
T or F: Human beings are members of the animal kingdom.
He Peeks at Bryce's answer, which is False. He instead locks in True as a precaution...good, because True is right. To reach the $25,000 mark, he has to get past a question from 2nd Grade Vocabulary. Kassidy's his third classmate.
By definition, the word "auditory" refers to which human sense?
A: Sight
B: Taste
C: Hearing
He wastes no time locking in hearing for $25,000! He'll try to double that with a question from 3rd Grade Animal Science. This is the second Field Trip question of the season from Dr. Tyler Lyson of the National Geographic Channel:
The T. Rex was one of the most ferocious dinosaurs. What word does the "T" stand for in T. Rex?
He nails Tyrannosaurus for $50,000! After brining Jonathan to the main student podium, his next category is 5th Grade Math.
What is the least common multiple of 6 and 10?
His guess is 30...correct for $100,000! He then gets to eat some pulled pork for 30 seconds just before the next commercial break! After the break, his next chosen topic is 4th Grade Health:
Who pioneered the concept of vaccinations with his research into preventing Smallpox?
A: Jonas Salk
B: Edward Jenner
C: Charles Drew
He agrees with me on Salk...but we're both wrong! It was Jenner, which was said by Bryce, Kassidy, Jenna...but not Jonathan, as he said Charles Drew. That sends him home with $25,000.
Single mother Veronica Lach then becomes a TOTAL FLUNK OUT when she misses this 3rd Grade Math question while also trying to reach the $25K mark:
Francesca has five shelves in her room. If she puts six dolls on each of the first four shelves and three dolls on the last shelf, what's the total number of dolls on all the shelves?jonas salk
