Same here.  Like on the Neil Armstrong question.  I knew he was the first one to walk on the moon, but it asked who first stepped on it and I thought that it might be someone else.





i never  thought that a quiz on the 5th grade levels would be trying to con me.
such paranoia, you guys! ;D

I can't believe you knew what a heptagon was.  Who knows that?


I knew that one  ???, but the geography questions (except the Gulf of Mexico one) were my downfall.

I don't know why I knew it, maybe it's because I took geometry twice.  ;D
I also have the ability to remember useless stuff.

I wish there was a "delighted" emoticon.

do i need to begiun a thread for this?
find someone that looks like one of our emoticons.

I can't believe you knew what a heptagon was.  Who knows that?
I did it by process of elimination:  4 is a quadrangle, 6 is a sexagon, 8 an octagon and 9 a nonagon ;D

BTW, I got 100% as well :o  I guessed on the "4 corners" one, though ;)

I didn't get to study for it!!!  I want a make-up test. >:(

I missed 5 of them.

So, no.

-4, 80 %

What 5th grader is this, anyway? I didn't know any of this stuff back in 5th grade!

I missed 6.  :-[

I'd give anything to go back to the 5th grade right now.

You weren't paying attention.

I'm pretty sure I was. It must be the sucky Californian education system.

I got them all correct but I don't know if that's anything to be proud of.  ???

100% here.

100% but had to guess at a few of them :)

You'd be amazed at what they're learning these days. 

I also have to add this disclaimer to my score: my oldest was in 5th grade last year so some of this stuff I had a "refresher course" in ;)

It's funny how "these days" are so different from only five years ago. *Sigh* I'm feeling old!

Which, had I guessed right, would have been a perfect score for me!

I learned most of this stuff when I was in fifth grade.  It hasn't really changed much in my view...just that maybe some students just retain less information as they get older and advance through grades.

You were in the 5th grade 5 years ago?

I'm the one that's feeling old!  :-[

omg. meat was a fifth grader in 2002. i'm totally freaking out. ;D

oops, i meant "Meat!".

Maybe it's just a regional thing...

I didn't do well, but maybe if I was in a better state of mind - I would've done as well as I would have done if I were in 5th grade again (which was 15 years ago)

I more than likely am, yes.

Did you take the test at the begining of the thread?

The ones I got wrong:
What is the fastest bird on foot?
How long is one regular term for a U.S. Representative?
Which of the following states is NOT on the Gulf of Mexico? (and I'm usually good at geography...)
What is the lowest prime number? (1 isn't a prime number...)
Which one of the following states is NOT part of the Four Corners? (Never actually heard of the "Four Corners")
What animal classification is a turtle? (I put fish for some crazy reason...)
Emma has 2 yard sticks. She also has a 12-inch ruler. She laid them end-to-end in a line. How many feet long is the line? (How many feet is a yard? I forget...)
Inca civilizations were concentrated on what continent? (Learn something new everyday...)
What state is the Grand Canyon in? (Oops...)


I more than likely am, yes.
Cancel that statement.

I'm pretty sure the test is different outside of the U.S.  ;)  I think you should get a break. 

Four Corners is where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona all come together by the way.

When (and if) the show is made down here I'm sure I'd get a higher score. It'd probably be retitled though. I think I remember seeing a parody of the "Four Corners" on the Simpsons once. Where they all stand in 5 different states at one time.

Yep.  Except in "real life" you can only stand in 4. 

Well, I got 85%.. but it's kind of redundant because I could just beat up all the kids in 5th grade.. and take their answers.. and lunch money.

I got 80%
5th graders aren't that smart, they're still totally dependant on their parents for most everything

55%.  Not too bad considering 6 questions were American biased.  Although I'm annoyed I got the prime number question wrong

What the hell's a prime number?

Yeah, I'm smarter than a 5th grader - I've been going to college for 6 years!  :D

An Advanced Fifth-Grader.

75% - U.S. geography significantly reduces my chances of doing well at anything where it appears.

What the hell's a prime number?


A number that can only be divided by itself and one.  the first few are 2,3,5,7,11,13 except for some reason I decided to answer that the lowest prime number would be 1

Score: 75%

Hey,i never said i was smart in the first place :P

I think our non-American members should get a break on a few of the questions ;)

(and I could've sworn I posted the prime number description last night, but I don't see it.....must not have.....but oddly enough, my description was almost the same as karen's word for word-except I said "evenly divided" ???)
