the question is whats 5/8ths of 48...the question scared 7 colors of shit out of him and he turned white as a ghost
he immediately requests help
the 10 year old girl guesses 40

What a Dumbass. That show never ceases to amaze me, are these people really that stupid or are they just there for entertainment value?

Definitely staged.

Those questions actually get pretty damn hard in the latter ones. Like beyond the knowledge of a regular person, let alone a 5th grader.

honestly i struggle when they get into the grammar and specific historical dates but the math and geography are tit.
i have college in my backround,a 137 documented iq and i banged out 1100 on my SATs on my only try but i freely admit that i get some of these questions wrong.
after geometry and algebra 2 my math skills were just non existant but i can do A2 B2 = C2 and other math problems that i would use in the construction business.
this is different
this is a simple math equation that high school flunkies and 3rd graders together can figure out in their head,never mind that there was 20k at risk for a man with a fucking doctorate who works as an RN.
if they ask this guy to increase someones meds by 20% is there some kind of failsafe program that would prevent him from indepentantly dosing the patient?
i thought i saw everything and was numb to stupidity in america
what a lesson i got this evening

Wow, what a fkn moron.

Here's another one...on who wants to be a millionaire, the question was "if you want someone to hurry you might say...":

-Get the lead out
-get the tread out
-get the head out
- ? something really dumb and unrelated.

the idiot had to ask for a life line.

then, another question was to complete the saying "one bad apple doesn't spoil...":
-the whole barrel
-the pie
-the tree
-something really dumb and unrelated

again, the moron had to ask for help. "I think it might be pie or tree..."

I find the lack of academic skills (i.e. the math question) more egregious cuz that's important stuff...but still not to know these very basic sayings? Where are these fkn people hiding all of their lives?

I grew up with the guy who wrote the 5th grader show theme song (along with music for Survivor, the Contender, the Apprentice, etc.)...hooked up with him last week for the first time in a few years. Pretty cool gig (and profitable $$$) but the show is fkn stupid.

oboviously it's "the whole bunch, girl."

I don't care what they say,
I don't care what you heard.

Ya know, Yazman, I'm old enough to recognize the reference, but I'm sitting here wondering if I can even hear notes that high any more.
