Is A Doctor Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader is one of the most successful game shows of all time, so I thought I’d take a swing at the questions to see if my years of medical school and higher education would give me an edge. Honestly, some of these questions were extremely difficult. I answered questions about teeth, the planets, Connecticut, prime numbers, US Presidents, lungs, the 20th century, Red Square, Dwight D. Eisenhower, color theory, roman numerals, how to read a clock, calcium in your bones, grammar, flags, 100 yards, hartford, Mars, blood cells, stapes, The Statue of Liberty, Tamarins, REM cycles, the periodic table, Acadia National Park, and tooth enamel with my friend Dr. Daniel Rubenshtein. We may not have Jeff Foxworthy, but this quiz is brutal. How did you do?

With adjectives ... You test which word is a describing word: "The "hungry" dog ... ate the super crunchy food." What "kind" of dog? → a "hungry" dog What "kind" of food? → "crunchy" dogfood "super" in: "...the super crunchy dogfood" modifies the adjective "crunchy" So that is an adverb, not an adjective.

[@ronaldofan9171]

So the word hungry is an adjective and when used like that it becomes a predicate adjective

[@neptunusrex5195]

know you won’t ever read this Doc, but here it is for the record.... “why would someone choose the hardships of obesity and unhealthy living taking years off their life”? Well as an obese male of 32 years of age today I’m going to tell you... I don’t do anything about my weight for one simple reason, you ready?...it won’t fix the rest of me.... Losing weight. It won’t fix my lack of height (I’m only 5 ft 8), it won’t fix my ocd, it won’t fix my general anxiety disorder, it won’t resolve my anxious-preoccupied attachment issues. Losing weight won’t help me stay in school and finish my degree, nor will it help me keep a job, it won’t help me move out and get my own place (even if it could how would I pay rent with no income?), it won’t help me make more friends or lead to a richer social life. At best, it would be only one item off a list of a dozen other things still wrong with me. I find it a distraction to waste monumental effort on dropping weight, only to still have the remaining problems aforementioned. If my weight were only one of 3 or 4 things I’d be more motivated to change, but wasting time and effort only for the bragging rights to say “yeah I still got problems but hey...at least I ain’t a fat azz.” 😏 .... If that’s the only reward I would reap from weight loss - it’s not worth the effort.

I think "dog food" is actually a compound noun, which is more or less when both words are equally important? I googled for some examples: "tennis shoe" or "golf ball." Whereas if it were "blue food," "blue" would be an adjective describing the food. Like how a "green house" (adj+noun)is a house that is green, but a "greenhouse" (compound noun) is the glass structure for growing plants out of season. Compound nouns can be two words separated by a space, hyphenated, or two words smushed together, like "bedroom."

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

The reason the game is called "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader" is because adults who have been out of grade school for a while have forgotten all the "facts" that have been proven useless to them irl, (or children are taught/not taught stuff today that are different from "back in the day") and not every adult has gone to college. Now, why 5th grade, as opposed to 12th, is probably humiliation factor. In other words: Don't feel bad, doc. (Barring the medical questions because I've never been to medical school.) I'm a born-and-raised American, and I did a little worse than you did.

[@cherriberri8373]

And honestly at least two of the questions he got wrong because of growing up in russia and then moving to here, on top of it.

[@fezzik7619]

This is a totally bs explanation. It’s about what kind of recall people have of things they’ve learned in their lives. I knew all of the answers except the Acadia one. Does that make me smarter than average or am I just good at recall? Perhaps academic intelligence is based on this ability. The truth is there’s no real scale for human intellect because there are different types of intelligences: academic, artistic, musical, athletic, etc.

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

@@fezzik7619 First: Please don't bite my head off; I have no actual statistical data - it was built more around my own logic and reasoning. Second: "recall" = "intelligence"; at least, to human perception. You can read every book in existence, but unless you can recall what you've read, it's all wasted effort. Third: Your final point this the generations-long argument against standardized test scores. Everyone agrees with you, but people need to see numbers on a spreadsheet even if they, ultimately, mean nothing!

[@Quick15]

I think this is good reasoning. Also, all the other skills are based off recall, its the building block for other intelligences. For example, if you're an artist can you get by without recall? Yes, I guess, but its going to be harder to remember what you're trying to do (Depending on the art obviously, this doesn't really apply to abstract). And musical as well, you need to be able to remember the notes/keys.

[@phaedrapage4217]

I got 100% and the million dollar question. And it's been 36 years since I was in 5th grade, 31 of them as a daily pot smoker.

@@lelrond I second that motion. Green using cyan and yellow is so much better than using green and blue. I teach a little bit of photography on the side and the second thing I teach after how to use that camera is how a camera creates a colour image and how that translates when printing. You can't teach that at all without understanding additive and subtractive colour mixing and why the classical model is wrong. Once you understand it correcting an images dodgy colours is so much easier and getting the prints closer to what you intended becomes a lot more simple to fix when things aren't quite right. If you are not in a profession that requires knowing it however then it's not exactly must have knowledge.

Hey, also, Doc, the century question is hard to answer because we forget to take into account that there is no year zero. We started counting at 1 CE (or AD), not at 0.

[@jamesdavis3851]

@@_XAmbitionX_ He called a dentist, that's why I said dentist and not "Mike". Hardness is very different from brittleness or toughness. The dentist referred to "scratching" inappropriately, which relates to Mohs. A toothbrush can't "scratch" a normal tooth - it might be able to damage it in some other way - I'm not a dentist but I know something about material science.

[@moremiaj4786]

@@UltimateGamerCC A dentist is a doctor specialized in teeth. Like a cardiologist is specialized in hearts. A dentist is a doctor.

Him calling his dentist, I- 😂😂

[@trynna3119]

On the grammar, sometimes would be an adverb telling when. Bear is a proper noun as the subject. Gets and drools are the compound verbs. And is a coordinating conjunction. Really and super are adverbs telling how much. All over is an adverb telling where. Hungry is an adjective describing bear. Crunchy is an adjective describing food. Food is a direct object telling what. Lastly, his is a possessive pronoun. Nobody cares, but I really enjoy grammar and wanted to do a breakdown of the sentence. If I have anything wrong, please let me know. I’m always excited to learn more.

All my knowledge of Maine comes from reading Stephen King books. I'm 78% certain it doesn't really exist.

[@astrimonical2702]

The last question was actually pretty simple if you do history in Canada. Acadian's used be what the inhabitants of Canada were called. And Acadia at the time was on the east coast and Maine was once part of Acadia. When you see how close Maine is to Canada it only makes sense for it to be Maine. - A 13 year old Candian girl.

[@erinhowett3630]

Personally I would have guessed Louisiana because the Acadians moved there after they were kicked out of Canada.

[@brunetpm]

That's not quite right. Acadians was never used as a term for all inhabitants of Canada. Acadia was one of 5 colonies that comprised Nouvelle France. Consequently, only French settlers from that colony were called Acadians.
