- Oh! - Oh my God!
I'm speechless.
- (React) Today, you're going to be doing Try Not To Fail:
Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
- Oh no.
- I already know the answer to this is no.
- Are you in 5th grade? - Yes.
- Oh no! (laughs) I'm in trouble guys.
- You haven't gotten there yet, and I'm long past it, so...
- You are the 5th grader. - No, I'm 4th grade.
- Well great, now I'm gonna be dumber than a 4th grader too!
- (React) So how do you guys think you're gonna do?
- Awesome. Epic!
- (React) Do you think you'll do better than Jair?
- (laughs) Look at her!
Look at the way she looked at me,
she was like her? Yes!
- Oh my God, Jeff Foxworthy? (laughs)
- (Jeff) Earth is approximately how many miles from the sun?
A, 9,300.
- We both looked. - (Jeff) B, 93,000.
C, 93 million. - Come on!
- That is ridiculous.
- How would I even know that? I never learned that!
- (Jeff) A, 9,300, B, 93,000.
- Ugh. - Oh no, I don't know any.
I'll just guess, so if you look at my paper and you fail,
don't talk to me.
- Do we just write the letter? - (React) You write just the letter.
What are you thinking?
- It's Mercury, I know it's Venus. - Mars.
- Mars, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune...
- Well, Pluto's not a planet anymore. (laughs)
- That's all of them.
- I'm trying to think, like, the last long car trip I took.
- (React) Do you think it's 9,300 miles?
93,000 miles, or 93 million miles away from the sun?
- Okay, do we just write a letter?
- (React) Yeah, just write a letter. A, B, or C.
- Yeah, okay.
- B.
- I'm not sure, it's just a guess.
- (React) Three, two, one, show me your answer.
B, you both put B!
- You wrote B too? - (laughs) Yeah!
- Oh my God, okay.
- (Jeff) Correct answer worth $10,000 is
93 million! (crowd cheers)
- Ah, I feel stupid! (bell rings)
- Pfft, I feel brilliant.
- No! - Okay, that's one for the adults.
- It's because the miles, you know what I mean?
When you measure in space, I'm sure it's a lot more.
- Oh, health class?
- (Jeff) The five basic human senses are seeing, smelling,
touching, hearing, and what?
- (React) Seeing, smelling, touching, hearing, and what?
(Hadley gasps)
- (laughs) I know the answer.
- I know, it's easy. - Yeah, yeah, we know this one.
- (grunts) I'm done. (laughs)
- Okay, done.
- (React) Three, two, one.
Tasting!
- Boom, taste!
Are you sure? - Oh yeah!
- Oh yeah. - Oh yeah!
I also know I have this in the bag.
- (Jeff) The correct answer is...
Taste!
- Ah, yay! - Woohoo!
- Yay, good job! - (React) Well done!
- Fist bump, fist bump, we got it right!
- (Jeff) How many times does the letter D
appear in the following word?
Granddaughter.
- (React) So yeah, how many times does the letter D
appear in the word granddaughter?
- Can I spell it real quick? - (React) You can spell it real quick.
- How do you spell daughter?
- Um...
I'm just clearly guessing here now.
- The trick is in Jeff Foxworthy's pronunciation.
Granddaughter.
It makes you wanna think it's three times.
- (React) Three, two, one. Reveal.
- Two!
- (React) How confident are you guys?
- Zero percent.
- I'm pretty confident.
- There's no way it's two Ds in granddaughter.
- Two times, the letter D appears in granddaughter,
I'm gonna lock my answer. (crowd cheers)
- You're both granddaughters. - (contestant) Yeah.
- And you're both right!
- It is granddaughter?
- (React) It is twice. - That's ridiculous.
- Yeah, we did it!
- I just failed 2nd grade spelling.
- G-R-A-N-D-D-A-U-G-H-T-E-R. - Yep.
- (Jeff) True or false, European vikings landed
in North America before explorer Christopher Columbus.
True or false?
- I'm Norwegian, too. I should know this.
- (React) Do you know who Christopher Columbus was?
- No, not at all.
- Yeah, he was a bad man.
- (React) Do you know who the vikings were?
- I think so, yeah.
- That team from Minnesota, right? (laughs)
- (React) Three, two, one. - True!
Christopher Columbus doesn't,
we need to stop talking about this guy, okay?
- Like, the way they paint the picture,
it's like Christopher Columbus discovered, so I'm like,
clearly, he didn't, 'cause other people were there,
but, I don't know.
- (Jeff) According to the history books...
- What's his name again, Timmy?
- (Jeff) It's true, you got $135,000.
- Yay, good job!
- So they teach this now,
'cause they didn't teach it to me when I was a kid.
- Ugh, I failed!
- That's right, baby! Those vikings, let me tell ya!
- (React) The vikings, apparently, came to Canada 1,000 years ago,
before Christopher Columbus, who only came 500 years ago.
- (Jeff) Which of the following foods contains no natural protein?
- Ah!
- (Jeff) Whole milk, pure sugar, or raw eggs?
- Okay, I got this one.
- (React) So what has no natural protein?
Milk, sugar, or eggs? - I don't know, bruh.
- I want to say... - I want to say,
the correct answer. - C or B.
- The obvious one would be like, there's no protein in sugar, right?
- Be confident in this answer.
There's no guessing in this one.
- Ready?
- (React) Reveal, three, two, one.
- B.
- (React) You both picked A, whole milk.
B. - Yas! (laughs)
- Protein, I think, means energy, and doesn't sugar give you energy?
- That's not a bad guess.
- (contestant) The answer has got to be B.
- Are we right or wrong?
- (contestant) Pure sugar contains no natural protein,
I'm locking my answer. (crowd cheers)
- (Jeff) What are you gonna do with $100,000?
- Alright!
- (React) Yeah, you're right.
- It is B. - Ah.
- I was gonna pick B, ugh!
- That's why I'm like, this is just rigged.
- Do you get taught about food?
Like, do they talk about nutrients and stuff like that?
- No, no.
- See, this is something that I didn't really start picking up on
until maybe the last six years.
- (Jeff) In Greek mythology, what creature...
- Oh. - (Jeff) Had the head of a bull,
and the body of a man?
- Oh shoot, I forgot.
- (Jeff) What creature had the head of a bull...
- Son of a biscuit eater!
- I was gonna say sharks.
- They teach this to 4th graders now?
- Can we do one with math please? (laughs)
- What is that?
- I know what it is, I just can't remember the name.
- (React) I'm gonna need you to write something down.
- I don't know.
- Head of a bull, and the body of a man.
I believe that was called... - Does it have a horn? (whimpers)
- (React) Ready to reveal? Three, two, one.
- (laughs) Minotaur! Me, he says me?
(laughs) You're not a bull, man!
- (React) Centaur, and Bullman.
- (laughs) That's so cute!
- Guess, that is question marks, so I do not know.
- Pretty sure it's called a Broinator. (laughs)
- (Jeff) You said... - (contestant) Minotaur.
- Yeah! - (Jeff) And I say mazel tov!
You've got $50,000.
- That's a lot of money for guessing minotaur.
- Of course, Jeff Foxworthy would've been like mazel tov.
- I knew it wasn't a centaur, but I knew it was like,
it had taur in it.
- Broinator was not that far off. (laughs)
- (Jeff) Who wrote the book Little House On The Prairie?
- Oh!
- Really?
- I never read that before.
- (gasps) I do know this.
- I don't know that book though. - I do know this.
- I actually never read this book. - Me either. (laughs)
- Bruh, who remembers the author of this?
- I think this, I think, I don't know who wrote this book.
- Bruh, I read Little Women, Little House On The Prairie,
Secret Garden. - But, I read Dog Man.
- I had the books, and then of course,
we watched the show.
- I wrote it! - Alright!
- This is such a great answer! - Okay, I can't wait to see it.
- I'm gonna guess wrong on purpose. (laughs)
'Cause I don't know!
- I've never read the book!
- You know what? Here's what we're gonna say.
- (React) Ready, three, two, one, reveal!
- Mark Twain!
- Laura Ingalls Wilder.
- (React) A lady, a woman.
- Imagine it's a man. (both laugh)
- (Jeff) For $175,000, Officer Kravitz.
- You shouldn't feel bad if you don't get
any of these questions, like...
- Ooh, she doesn't look like she knows.
- (Jeff) Laura Ingalls Wilder!
- Oh, I put an I, it's an E?
- (React) Of course it wasn't Mark Twain.
(buzzer rings) You thought it was Mark Twain?
- Laura Ingalls Wilder. - (React) Yep.
- I got this one wrong.
(Hadley squeaks) - Honestly...
- I wanted to do math!
- None of these questions help you pay your bills.
- (Jeff) In the 1850s, the United States
bought about 30,000 square miles of land
as part of the Gadsden Purchase.
- I slept in this class, I remember.
- (Jeff) The land is now part of two U.S. states.
- Ooh. - (Jeff) Name them both.
- (React) Two states. That's all you need to write down.
- I know the Mississippi purchase. - I know the Louisiana purchase.
- But, wait, yeah.
- And that was immediately followed by like Manifest Destiny,
and stuff like that.
- I'm just gonna, I, this is a total guess.
- The 1850s was like the outlaw era,
so it could be somewhere in the west.
- (React) Ready? Reveal in three, two, one.
I don't know, and I don't know.
- (laughs) That's so cute.
- Just guessed. - Oh.
- What did you put? - I put North and South Dakota.
- (React) California and Arizona. - California and Arizona.
- (React) So why do you think California and Arizona,
and why do you think New Mexico and Arizona?
- I don't know, I think I'm wrong.
- I think the Gadsden Purchase might be when they got land from Mexico?
- (Jeff) It is Arizona and New Mexico.
- Oh! - Oh my God!
- Oh my God! (laughs) I got it right!
- Oh, I'm speechless!
- Aw man!
- Yeah, I knew it was New Mexico for sure,
but I couldn't figure out that other state.
- It was land purchased from Mexico, for sure.
(bell rings) Dude!
You did it! - I got that right!
- That's what I'm talking about!
- (Jeff) Of the 32 teeth in the typical adult human mouth,
how many are bicuspids?
- What is bi, what does that mean?
- (React) Bicuspids, which means teeth with two cusps.
- I don't even know what a cusp is. (laughs)
- Girl, open wide. (both laugh)
- Oh wait. - How many bicuspid, what?
- Let's see. (both laugh)
- Alright, I'm gonna guess, if I know what a bicuspids is.
- (React) Three, two, one, show your answer.
Five and eight.
20 and 12.
- I feel like it has to be even, because they're like,
those might be your molars that I'm thinking of.
- (Jeff) You said four, just for giggles,
let's see what our 5th grade class said.
Two of the kids said eight. That is the correct answer.
- Hey! - Lucky number!
- Oh, I almost got eight. - (React) Eight is the correct answer.
- Have two cuspids? - (React) Two cusps, yeah.
Jair, you got this right, congratulations!
- (laughs) Bruh. - Ah!
- I'm confused about what bicuspids are, apparently.
- You only need the one question that counts, man.
It's the million dollar question!
- You know why I got it wrong?
'Cause when I was counting, I still have my wisdom teeth.
- (React) Jair. - Yes.
- (React) Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
- No.
But do I manage my money better than a 5th grader?
(laughs) Yes.
- I remember a lot of stuff, but very clearly,
as you've probably seen from this episode,
other ways where I'm not that smart anymore.
- I did a little better than I thought I was gonna do.
And I think it's more in some subjects that interest me.
- But I got two points!
- Then you're rolling in a little dough.
(laughs) Like a little mini pizza there.
- Thanks for watching this episode.
- Which of these questions would you have gotten wrong?
Let us know in the comments.
- Don't forget to subscribe to see more Try Not To videos.
- (both) Bye!
- You did so good! - You too!
