Intelligence is a matter of fact memorization? This is an oddly worded question.
This is just the title of a game show called: Are you smarter than a 5th grader. Let’s not make this into a politically correct issue. This is for pure entertainment.
Best wishes,

Oh, okay. Well, I got them all right, so does that make me more intelligent than a 5th grader, or equally intelligent?
who cares….
Sorry, but this has nothing to do with intelligence, lol
My IQ has been measured to 135, but i don’t know these American History things!
Naahhh…. has NOTHING to do witk intelligence, Susan…
If you want to get up to speed on American History, you can get the whole scoop from just one 7 minute film:

“KNOW American History? Why, we rabbits have MADE American History!”

For the math stuff, try this:

of course 10/8 is correct, but why not 65/52, or 100/80… They must have learned this thing called division…no?
i guess it is
12124
but i’m not an us citizen … so i might be less smart than a 5th grader …
but anyway
3/4 + 1/2 = 10/8
table salt is composed from sodium and chlorine and the longest river of the world is the Amazonas…
ROFL
The longest river is Nile.
the answers are:
1) 2
2) 2
3) 1
4) 3
5) 4
Oh, three of them have nothing to do with the U.S.A. and only one is American History! Please!
Mr. Forbes has it right. 22134
However, my answer for longest river (Amazon; 2) is arguably correct. The Nile (4,157 miles) appears to be the majority choice, but some sources (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_length) claim the Amazon (either 3,969 or 4,202 miles) is longest.
Susan
You have definitely proven that all 5th graders are smarter than the smart farts that blog here. HaHa.
And these guys think they are adults. LOL.
the Amazon IS longest … but it depends on the origin you chose for the Nile (the most far from the delta or the most water rich origin?). but remember – the Amazon has lot’s of origins and there are some which could make the Amazon the longest river world wide… ^^
and for George Washington – i muddled up independance declaration and constituton … that’s why i’m not a us – citizen …
great blogging theme … more trivia questions please … ^^
ROFLMAO
Amazon is the LARGEST …not longest….Nile is the longest.
“Susan

Do you know what the word “prove” means?
Why call it 10/8? 5/4 seems more logical to me.
apart from hancock i knew everything, yeah lol
i never heard that name before…well you never stop learning
“Why call it 10/8? 5/4 seems more logical to me.”
There’s no logic involved, though maybe you mean to say that 5/4 is more aestheticall pleasing to you personally. Probably it’s done as 10/8 because the problem expects you to convert both fractions into 8ths to get the answer.
Why 8ths. 4 is the common denominator.
I really learned something from that – “Natrium” is called “sodium” in english; I didn’t new that, but in german salt is “Natriumchlorid”, perhaps NaCl_2 !? (at least I think so….).
At question one I would have said “4. Alexander Hamilton” because I have never heard that name before – uuuuh.
I am honest – the only source of knowledge of that theme is the old adventure from Lucas Arts called “Day of the tentacle” – where Washington, Hancock and any third man (name? uh perhaps that was Hamilton!?) are writing any important paper in American history – I think it was the constitution or was that the “Unabhängigkeitserklärung” (declaration of independance)!?
But I remember Franklin to be in a location close to them – that should explain my answer.
Who knows that great old computer game? 🙂
Second question – I always had problems with capitals even in Europe and even in german “Bundesländern” (is that “countries” in english?)… so I do not know that but I am not ashamed. 🙂
I’d also remember having heard that amazonas was just the river with the most water – but not the longest.
So I would say “nile”, too, bacause I think I have heard that…
In Germany we say “Auf die Länge kommt es nicht an.” but that is just a very bad word joke (“Wortspiel”) here…
Last one I should be able to solve because I study mathematics at the university.
If it says 5/4 or 10/8 (or 125% or 1.25 or whatever you can imagine for it) has absolute no meaning – that’s all the same number, just different writings of it.
So that are my proposals…..
Reading your posts I think “Lincoln” is the correct answer to number 2 but what is right to number 1?
Really interesting. 🙂

Jochen
PS: I read in any other topic that Weselin Topalow had his birthday short time ago – so here are my congratulations, too. Wikipedia tells me that he has just one day after me. Cool, but that has nothing to do with the topic here. 🙂
