Is A Doctor Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader is one of the most successful game shows of all time, so I thought I’d take a swing at the questions to see if my years of medical school and higher education would give me an edge. Honestly, some of these questions were extremely difficult. I answered questions about teeth, the planets, Connecticut, prime numbers, US Presidents, lungs, the 20th century, Red Square, Dwight D. Eisenhower, color theory, roman numerals, how to read a clock, calcium in your bones, grammar, flags, 100 yards, hartford, Mars, blood cells, stapes, The Statue of Liberty, Tamarins, REM cycles, the periodic table, Acadia National Park, and tooth enamel with my friend Dr. Daniel Rubenshtein. We may not have Jeff Foxworthy, but this quiz is brutal. How did you do?

With adjectives ... You test which word is a describing word: "The "hungry" dog ... ate the super crunchy food." What "kind" of dog? → a "hungry" dog What "kind" of food? → "crunchy" dogfood "super" in: "...the super crunchy dogfood" modifies the adjective "crunchy" So that is an adverb, not an adjective.
So the word hungry is an adjective and when used like that it becomes a predicate adjective
know you won’t ever read this Doc, but here it is for the record.... “why would someone choose the hardships of obesity and unhealthy living taking years off their life”? Well as an obese male of 32 years of age today I’m going to tell you... I don’t do anything about my weight for one simple reason, you ready?...it won’t fix the rest of me.... Losing weight. It won’t fix my lack of height (I’m only 5 ft 8), it won’t fix my ocd, it won’t fix my general anxiety disorder, it won’t resolve my anxious-preoccupied attachment issues. Losing weight won’t help me stay in school and finish my degree, nor will it help me keep a job, it won’t help me move out and get my own place (even if it could how would I pay rent with no income?), it won’t help me make more friends or lead to a richer social life. At best, it would be only one item off a list of a dozen other things still wrong with me. I find it a distraction to waste monumental effort on dropping weight, only to still have the remaining problems aforementioned. If my weight were only one of 3 or 4 things I’d be more motivated to change, but wasting time and effort only for the bragging rights to say “yeah I still got problems but hey...at least I ain’t a fat azz.” 😏 .... If that’s the only reward I would reap from weight loss - it’s not worth the effort.
Mike got almost all of the medical questions right. That’s pretty impressive. He should consider becoming a doctor

Yeah! He also has videos where he accurately analyzes medical scenes in movies and tv shows, he should become a real doctor, he'll definitely be good at it.
I knew Enamel from a science topic in school where my teacher explained how heat and cold don’t disrupt it the same as it would other bodily protective layers. Keratin can be burned off due to heat, as an example.

As an aspiring astronomer, when he said Mars was closer to the sun than Earth, I almost cried, then when he got it right I looked up in the sky in happiness.

Followed up for Jupiter being the second.

I was thinking "but the planets all have such different individual characteristics, you can't mix them up"

Yes, an adverb can be a modifier for a verb or for an adjective.
It can also modify other adverbs.
I wonder if we could add dog since it describes the type of food.
@@FlowerPower-cf2fp yeah dog should also be a an adjective
I think "dog food" is actually a compound noun, which is more or less when both words are equally important? I googled for some examples: "tennis shoe" or "golf ball." Whereas if it were "blue food," "blue" would be an adjective describing the food. Like how a "green house" (adj+noun)is a house that is green, but a "greenhouse" (compound noun) is the glass structure for growing plants out of season. Compound nouns can be two words separated by a space, hyphenated, or two words smushed together, like "bedroom."
As an artist, it baffles me that mixing colors isn't a common knowledge as adults, my cousin who is an engineer also does not know colors so don't feel bad about that hesitation mike.
As an Engineer I would agree - I guessed incorrectly as well
But... How? How do they manage that?
As an artist, I'm even more confused by the fact that Itten's color wheel is still being taught in school as if you could get a nice shade of orange by just mixing red and yellow. Especially considering that teaching the actual prime colors, cyan, magenta and yellow, isn't harder at all.
Color lights, yeah, actual paint though? No way. Whenever my paint mixes it turns black lol.
@@lelrond I second that motion. Green using cyan and yellow is so much better than using green and blue. I teach a little bit of photography on the side and the second thing I teach after how to use that camera is how a camera creates a colour image and how that translates when printing. You can't teach that at all without understanding additive and subtractive colour mixing and why the classical model is wrong. Once you understand it correcting an images dodgy colours is so much easier and getting the prints closer to what you intended becomes a lot more simple to fix when things aren't quite right. If you are not in a profession that requires knowing it however then it's not exactly must have knowledge.

@Han Solo No I'm pretty sure he thought that the crust was where the core or mantle is.
The reason the game is called "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader" is because adults who have been out of grade school for a while have forgotten all the "facts" that have been proven useless to them irl, (or children are taught/not taught stuff today that are different from "back in the day") and not every adult has gone to college. Now, why 5th grade, as opposed to 12th, is probably humiliation factor. In other words: Don't feel bad, doc. (Barring the medical questions because I've never been to medical school.) I'm a born-and-raised American, and I did a little worse than you did.
And honestly at least two of the questions he got wrong because of growing up in russia and then moving to here, on top of it.
This is a totally bs explanation. It’s about what kind of recall people have of things they’ve learned in their lives. I knew all of the answers except the Acadia one. Does that make me smarter than average or am I just good at recall? Perhaps academic intelligence is based on this ability. The truth is there’s no real scale for human intellect because there are different types of intelligences: academic, artistic, musical, athletic, etc.
@@fezzik7619 First: Please don't bite my head off; I have no actual statistical data - it was built more around my own logic and reasoning. Second: "recall" = "intelligence"; at least, to human perception. You can read every book in existence, but unless you can recall what you've read, it's all wasted effort. Third: Your final point this the generations-long argument against standardized test scores. Everyone agrees with you, but people need to see numbers on a spreadsheet even if they, ultimately, mean nothing!
I think this is good reasoning. Also, all the other skills are based off recall, its the building block for other intelligences. For example, if you're an artist can you get by without recall? Yes, I guess, but its going to be harder to remember what you're trying to do (Depending on the art obviously, this doesn't really apply to abstract). And musical as well, you need to be able to remember the notes/keys.
I got 100% and the million dollar question. And it's been 36 years since I was in 5th grade, 31 of them as a daily pot smoker. But I didn't always know all the answers on every episode of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader that I watched. These questions just happened to be things I've randomly retained. I used to read a lot of encyclopedias as a kid, I have a lot of little obscure facts running around in my head from that.

On the adjectives one, Mike was basically that picture of "I don't know how, but you used the wrong formula and got the right result"
For the record, this is why you put commas between multiple leading adjectives. The comma is there to tell you it's not an adverb for the adjective ahead of it.

Ha ha ha Dr. Mike is so cute! 🤣🥰 As a medical professional it's really just important for him to know the medical questions.
This honestly makes me feel better that even a doctor struggles with some basic academic stuff. But also a little worrying that a doctor doesn't know some of this. But then again, maybe his brain dumped all the "useless" early academic info in favor of keeping all the good medical info.
You would be surprised to see how much regular people have forgotten from school, just because it's useless. Your doctor doesn't need to know the order of planets, he doesn't need to understand the formation of a sentence as long as he can Form one without errors. Everything he needs to know is how your body works precisely, and how to cure you. Rest is pretty much superflue.
Me too! I'm torn on whether this is reassuring or worrying.
He probably didn’t pay attention in grade school and started to pay attention in high school and stayed super focused in college.
He got all the medical stuff. And can argue that that one was a dentist thing; so doesn't count. Good enough for me.
most general knowledge are really just thrown under the rug once you start having to specialize in one thing since you put most of your time in understanding and learning what you have to for your work. so i don't think its a cause for concern.

Hey, also, Doc, the century question is hard to answer because we forget to take into account that there is no year zero. We started counting at 1 CE (or AD), not at 0. So, when you put 100 years on the calendar, you found yourself at 101 CE, not 100 which was only 99 years from the starting point. Consequently, the first day of the 20th century was 1/1/1901, not 1900.
Thank you I needed this.
Odd to keep it like that after the invention of 0 though. It would make more sense to insert a 0th year into the calendar and just add +1 to all the BCE dates.

So 1900 is in the 19th century with 1899??

TV clue: sit-com titled “3rd Rock From the Sun” . . . Dr. Mike is too young to remember.
Good parents, starting off with words.
On the grammar, sometimes would be an adverb telling when. Bear is a proper noun as the subject. Gets and drools are the compound verbs. And is a coordinating conjunction. Really and super are adverbs telling how much. All over is an adverb telling where. Hungry is an adjective describing bear. Crunchy is an adjective describing food. Food is a direct object telling what. Lastly, his is a possessive pronoun. Nobody cares, but I really enjoy grammar and wanted to do a breakdown of the sentence. If I have anything wrong, please let me know. I’m always excited to learn more.

Dentists are not doctors. That being said, as a doctor he should know the answer. Also, it shows that his knowledge of basic physics is faulty, since he doesn't understand the hard substance like enamel can be scratched by another harder substance, like the crystals found in some tooth pastes.

For the century question, here is an easy way to think of it. The first century starts year 1 and is 100 years, so it ends year 100. The 2nd century would then start after that, so year 101, and so on.

I moved a handful of times in elementary school into different districts and I had adhd. so I feel you Mike on the struggling. Were kids in thirds grade really learning the capitals of the states??? I was in highschool testing on that >>;;
He's actually engaging with the material, which is more important than being right
Love that his team is getting more involved in the videos, Dan and Sam are funny
I love how the other wrong answers would just ignore but the teeth got him consult a specialist
Colorado - it’s Cold there! It’s just not that bad 😂
The best way to think of adjectives is as describing words. For example if you are describing a human, you can describe them as a hungry human or if you are a cannibal you could describe them as a crunchy human lol but it doesn't really make sense to describe someone as a super person, english is complicated but I hope if you or anyone else sees this it might help them understand a bit better.
This was so fun. Mike’s smile and good nature are contagious!
I love how excited Doctor Mike got over seeing the Red Square in Russia.😆 Mike: "yo, that's home, baby!" (1:47) Side note: when was the last time Doctor Mike even went to Russia?🤭
The question about Dwight D. Eisenhower cracked me up! He's from my hometown, Denison, Texas. You said you judged him by the size of his head... There's a giant statue of his head at one of our parks! 🤣 Lots of times when I met up with ppl, we'll say,"Meet me at the big head!" 😂
Being from northern Ohio, literally 20 minutes away from Lake Erie, the first thing I remember learning in school was all the Great Lakes. I know I had learned things before then, but the first lesson I can still remember was learning the Great Lakes.
As an Aussie, I'm so glad I knew where Acadia National Park was and Doc Mike didn't. But, I only know, cause a story I wrote was set in Maine, and I researched the hell out of that state.
All my knowledge of Maine comes from reading Stephen King books. I'm 78% certain it doesn't really exist.
The last question was actually pretty simple if you do history in Canada. Acadian's used be what the inhabitants of Canada were called. And Acadia at the time was on the east coast and Maine was once part of Acadia. When you see how close Maine is to Canada it only makes sense for it to be Maine. - A 13 year old Candian girl.
I live in England. What was the first battle of the English civil war? That’s our questions
Personally I would have guessed Louisiana because the Acadians moved there after they were kicked out of Canada.
That's not quite right. Acadians was never used as a term for all inhabitants of Canada. Acadia was one of 5 colonies that comprised Nouvelle France. Consequently, only French settlers from that colony were called Acadians.
I only got it because I remember it from fallout 4

9:30 The four, yes four, naturally occurring states of matter are solids, liquids, gasses, and plasmas. Some non-natural states are superfluids, bose-einstein condensates, fermionic condensates, time crystals, etc There's a lot more than 3
I live about 30 minutes from Acadia National Park, it was funny to hear you debate with yourself over two places on the wrong side of the country. 😂
*"I just don't think it's Hartford cause it feels like it's Hartford, which means that it's not it."* Lesson of the day, don't believe in yourself -Believe in Dr.Mike who believes in you- 😂
Gasp* Gurren Laggan?
Mike: "I got a 73%, I did terrible!" Me, attending engineering school: "Cs get degrees."
Me in medical school: 70% is a pass 👍
Guys, that was a fifth grade test! Of course 73% is terrible! 😂
When I was in TAFE (technical college for Australia), we were actually given a choice as a class - 50% passing grade with closed book exams, or needing 90% to pass but it's open book. We voted on 90% and I'm so glad we did I don't care what the industry is, if you only do 50% of your job correctly, something is getting broken and someone might get hurt.. plus in modern society we DO have calculators/textbooks/encyclopedias whatever in our pocket at all times. Being able to quickly find and identify the correct answer to your problem through a search in texts/internet is far more useful than remembering only half of what you need.
@@MotoCat91 that's a very cool way of doing things. I agree 100%.
Only undergrad degrees. The unis I know of allow only 2 C's (or less) for a Master's degree.
I love how he thinks that something is the answer but then he chooses something random.😂 And when he called his dentist and started questioning 😂😂
