Why are the adults that go on the show so stupid? I'm a freshman and i can answer practically any question they ask. Do adults really get that stupid when they grow up?

yes!
we do!
its so sad cause i know that even in high school i still wouldve known this stuff. but depending on the job you get is where your memory will stay. once u get out in the real world everyhting changes.
if you never have to think about world georgraphy and which sea lies where - u wont remember that stuff!
but i love the show!

Between the time away from school and the nerves of being in front of an audience - folks forget stuff. And then some folks just aren't that smart to begin with.
Remember, however, that there is a difference between book smarts, knowledge and wisdom. Hopefully, the adults have a bit more wisdom under their belts than their 5th-grade friends.

As one coming from the dark side of 50 you would be amazed at how much you forget when you don't use it. If it was in a class you didn't like very well and only paid enough attention to pass the class, the odds are that 10 years after you were out of school you would remember none of it.

I watch that show every now and then and it's incredible to me that people miss some of those questions too. I grew up on Jeapordy and trivia that is way harder than the stuff Jeff Foxworthy asks on that show. That's why I'll never get on that show. PS, Nice name, bub.

You are still in the learning process so it is easier for you to remember. Adults just haven't had to use most of that information in a long time.

Adults forget the simple things they learned from years prior. Does anyone notice that they do not have (grade school) teachers on as contestants...Hmmm?

I know I can answer most of the quesitons too (I'm 23). I think its cause you get nervous in front of everyone and you forget a lot of what you learn as you get older. The kids know because they are currently learning it...

People forget stuff, the older you get the more you will forget too. But im sure they do try to find the dumbest people they can find for this show.
