HARTFORD – The hit FOX show, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, returns Tuesday, May 26 at 8 p.m., and features an entirely new cast of fifth graders to assist their grown-up contestants.
These six 5th graders were chosen from a nationwide search, to help the adult contestants graduate towards the $1 million prize. Unlike a typical game show that measures intelligence, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? tests adults’ lack of knowledge – as revealed by how much they’ve forgotten since their grammar school days, proving that older doesn’t always mean wiser.
Whether they are doctors, lawyers, pilots or military personnel, the grown-ups will need the help of these real-life fifth graders, as they are asked 11 increasingly difficult grade-school questions, covering 10 subjects taken from 1st-through-5th grade textbooks. If a player correctly answers the first 10 questions, he/she can answer a sixth grade question worth $1,000,000.
