Have you seen this new show on Fox? It's called Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
It's basically designed to humiliate anyone who can't remember back to grade school, but for those who do remember, it's a chance at one million dollars.
We were talking about the show, and said why not see if you can answer the questions.
We'll give you 9 questions and see if you are smarter than a 5th grader (the majority of these are actually 4th grade questions. the 5th grade ones were really hard)
P.S. Fox didn't tell me to do this to promote their show. We came up with this on our own.
P.S.S. I'll post the answers on my blog after 9am, so you can test your co-workers or family.

No, I don't drink coffee, even though I get up at 2:30AM every morning. Todd Meany here, if you didn't guess. I do love working in the mornings though. The crew is great, and it's nice to be home in the afternoon so I can hang out with my 3 boys.
