The "hard" questions on this show ARE taught in that grade level. It's just stuff you forget immediately after the test because it isn't taught to you in a way that makes it at all interesting or useful.

Because all of these questions are of standard curriculum that 5th graders (and younger) are taught. Back when I was watching this show I still remembered some of these answers from my elementary years.

@@TWolfyG Acadia National Park is in Maine. Maine borders the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick. The area known as Acadia (or “l’Acadie” in French) was part of the colony of New France and it encompassed much of what is now the region of Gaspésie in Quebec, as well as the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, as well as the U.S. state of Maine. So it makes obvious sense that the answer is Maine.

I replayed that SO many times.

Everytime I watch videos like these, I get a tingling feeling.

I'm Canadian (technically Acadian), so I don't know much about American history. However, I do know that the Acadians were kicked out of France by the British and sent to Louisiana (and a few other places, but Louisiana is the only place in America that I can recall them being located in, every other place I know of is a Canadian province). So I'm actually kind of surprised it was Maine. I really expected it to be Louisiana because that's where some Acadians went. I guess you learn something new every day, eh?

This is what happens when you let a guy this talented on the show. They thought it'd be wicked if they proved a nobel-prize winning scientist was not smarter than a 5th grader but they got powned. Truth is kids gets taught basic, pointless stuff that fades away with years of learning more practical stuff. That's why people don't always know the answers. The details didn't come in handy later in life so they were forgotten. Besides these kids are probably coached in particular.

LMFAO i love the jump circle of celebration he has going there. he obviously IS smarter than a fifth grader

I saw that show, and I'm happy to see the winner moment!!!!

That dance when he won though

he enjoyed hugging those kids

OMG noble Peace prize . No wonder he won. He Deserves every penny of it

why is he so happy hes a multimillionare he doesnt need that

I believe the Acadia National Park is located in the state of Maine.

I knew this because of my knowledge of the QMJHL. There is a team in New Brunswick called the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. (Acadie being French for "Acadia" helped there.) There used to be a team in Lewiston, Maine. It seemed to fit.

Been to Acadia, gorgeous area.

I'm Canadian and I got this right... but because Acadia was parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, it would only make sense it would be Maine.

He won one million dollars

Thank you!!

Noble prize winning professors is smarter than fifth grader! No joke! This is who he is.

I'm in 8th grade and as soon as they said Acadia I remembered that is another name for the area around Maine so I immediately through Maine.

MILLION DOLLAR WINNER!!!

My guess for that particular State would have been 1 of the following 3. 1: Maine 2: California 3: North Dakota

It helps if you live in New England and/or have been to Maine. I haven't made it to Acadia yet but people have told me it is really nice.

He won a nobel prize. I´m sure he is smarter than a 5th grader

2:37. DANG!! I didn't know Jeff could yell that loud!

No fifth grader I know would know this...

I don't question his achievements, they're something I could never even dream of. But, isn't it a bit sad and pathetic for a Nobel Prize Winner to go to a 5th Grade Question Contest?

If I had known Acadia NP was on the coast I would have immediately picked Maine. I knew Acadia was a former French colony that included parts of Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. I thus assumed that ANP was in the New England region but wasn't sure whether it was located in Vermont or Maine. I took an educated guess and chose Maine.

$1 Million!

I really like hosts mustache

guess people werent always paying attention back then...

Both people that won the million on this show seemed to have easy questions. I knew Queen Victoria was the longest reigning British monarch and that Acadia National Park is located in Maine. I wish I could have tried out for this show. Oh well....

Canada tried their hand at doing this show too, but it was only a limited run of five episodes. It was hosted by Colin Mochrie, best known for "Whose Line is it Anyway?". The best that somebody did in these episodes was winning CAD$300,000, which was two questions away from the million. Apparently there's a French language version that's still airing mainly for people in Quebec, but the top prize there is CAD$250,000.

because the original name was "Are you smarter than a fifth grader that will be valedictorian at Harvard" they cut down the title to "Are you smarter than a fifth grader that will be valedictorian" but it was still a bit too long so it went to "Are you smarter than a fifth grader"

Gotta love his reaction :D
