I don’t know any US geography, either.

Being a Canadian and all. I still know that Alaska is bigger than Texas… If I was a 5th grader on this damn game show, I’d totally mess with the adult contestants by answering everything incorrectly on purpose. But then, I’m not a nice person. Every kid knows writing the wrong answers down temporarily is the best way to thwart cheaters. At least, the kids who aren’t the ones cheating know it.

The shows fake. Other than being on Fox it’s all reported to be setup. It’d be more fun if they gave these types of answers: http://www.scribd.com/doc/5107/They-didnt-study

Well, yes. The kids are casted, and I read somewhere that they can review some of the material beforehand. Otherwise, I very much doubt that their fifth graders would be as smart as fifth graders, and the kids’ answers would be pretty useless for peek/copy/save. And game shows are always picky about contestants (no especially ugly, awkward people, etc)… But I very much doubt that it’s rigged as far as winning or losing goes otherwise. Either way… it’s boring, and I wouldn’t have watched as much as I did (about half) if it wasn’t recorded on my DVR, and I couldn’t fast forward.
