You cannot convice me that those kids are not given answers to the hard questions beforehand to make it look like they're smarter than the adult contestant. Those kids aren't geniuses, they are child actors who were picked because they're good in front of the camera.
I have always suspected they were given the answers to select questions beforehand, and I think tonight I was proven right. The producers expected Marki (who is only there because she's a pretty blond girl), to know the answer to that easy 2nd grade question. But she didn't.
In case you missed it, the question was "How many feet are in 2 1/2 yards?" She said 78.
But watch next week. She'll get the right answer to the question "How many millimeters are in 4031.98 miles?"

That's funny because I'm not a genius and I've known there were 3 feet in a yard since I was in 1st grade. What did these people think a yarkstick looked like? A 50 ft long pole?

Brandon, why click on, then answer a question that doesn't appeal to you??? Do you not see there are a million other questions you could read??? Are you blind? Look at all those categories to the left.

It's very fake. One of their earlier kids Laura had previously acted and she left the show because she got more offers.

We also make a point to watch that show. In this Canadian family is a 12 year old , a 16 year old , a 28 and 64 year old . The last is me. The 12 year old gets about half of the question .the16, about 3/4 . The 28 year old gets about half and I get about 3/4 plus.
In watching the previous shows there are many times when the panel indevidually gets wrong answers and we don't even see half of their answers. The kids must have been smart and the ones that were picked for the show were made into actors
As regards Marki? and her question ? Is the education system in the States geared to the metric system fully now? My 12 and 16 year old barely knows inches and feet.

I'm guessing its all just fresh in their heads. I mean I'm not stupid but the time i watched that show i had already forgot what a consonant was.

If no-one can convince you any different, why ask a question?
You obviously think you know the answer.

Less fake than my interest in this question.
