Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Adult contestants try to answer questions drawn from elementary school textbooks. Five actual fifth-grade ``classmates'' can help the adult player as he tries to reach the million-dollar jackpot. The grown-up can ``cheat'' three ways: He can Peek, looking at the child's answer; he can Copy, meaning he must use the child's answer; or he can Save, for when he guesses wrong and the classmate has the right answer. A contestant can walk away at any point with the money he has won, as long as he admits, ``I am not smarter than a fifth grader.''
