Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for July 20, 2010

This dad wouldn’t be smarter than a 5th grader either.

Ollie and Stan

Of course, when he was in sixth grade, those countries were provinces of the Soviet Union

jfm, no they were not; they were republics in the Soviet Union.

Why is it that the show is called “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader,” when it only tests knowledge, which has nothing to do with how smart one is?

Fearless Leader says it is definitely not Pottsylvania!

Clhikuku: You’re cute.

I already gradjitated 6th grade, thank you

Boy, someone can sure go to Wikipedia.

I can still name all 50 states in alphabetical order off the top of my head (I know a song). Don’t ask me their capitals, though…

Fritzoid, I learned that song in the 5th grade. But… I also know all of the state capitals.

Since the US and, later on, all of NATO and the UN never recognized the annexation of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, a case can be made that they should not be considered “former Soviet republics” but, rather, “former occupied territories”.*-
