I was watching this show called “Are you smarter than a 5th grader?” on TV last night. The kind of questions they ask on this show is so trivial. They are like child play compared to Jeopardy.
Anyway, for the $500,000 question: “Name the country that is also a continent”. I laughed a little after they showed this question. My sister who was also watching the show kept on asking how can she become a contestant. What a lame half a million dollars question. Any 5th grader can tell you the answer in less than a second.
And guess what, the contestant did not have know it. She’s a blond hair lady in her 30’s. She ended up giving up and walked away with whatever she won. She had to admit that she was not smarter than a 5th grader. How humiliating.
By the way, if you’re still curious, the answer is Australia, that island/continent nation southeast of Asia.
