The statistics are wrong, all tests that try and add pictures in them get frozen, all categories at the end don't show up with descriptions, 1/10 of new tests are born with a fatal error, and 99% of the people on here have no clue. Cmon!
Answer Key for Are you Smarter Than a First Grader
1. If it gets any colder today, then it will be
too cold to go outside.
2. "By the school at the playground" is not a complete
sentence. Try telling that to half of my kids.
3. Will not= won't
4. A magical e would make the first vowel say its name.
Hat would become hate. In hate, the "a" says
its name. This is a useful tool in teaching kids to decode words
they don't know.
5. An article about a space shuttle would be
nonfiction.
6. The setting contains where and when, but not who.
7. Where the Wild Things Are was written by Maurice
Sendak.
8. A hexagon has 6 sides. My kids all know that one, since I
call a table made of two trapezoids as "The hexagon table."
9. The answer is 5. The range of ages is the
maximum-minimum. In this case 10-5=5. This is tough for 1st
graders, and most of them didn't get it.
10. 8:20 My kids give weird times like 8:4 for this one
sometimes.
11. The money totaled to 78 cents.
12. 32 books-24 books= 8 books.
13. A cube has 8 corners.
14. Start with 12 marbles. Subtract Rachel's 3. Subtract
Dana's 4. don't subtract Emily's 5 markers. John has 5 left.
My kids all fall for this trick the first time, and then almost
never do again. It teaches them to listen.
Very few people adults, and no kids aced the science/social student
section. The science questions were not all things I've taught, but
many kids have learned these facts on their own.
15. Venus is hotter than Mercury. It has a greenhouse effect
going on big time. Few people know this.
16. The roots drink water. The water may fall on the leaves,
but it has no way to get it inside the plant. Their job is to make
food.
17. Plants breathe out oxygen, the same thing we
breathe in.
18. Moms and dads care for penguin babies (taking turns).
Most of my kids saw March of the Penguins and knew that.
19. China is obviously the country. Adults had a big
advantage on that one. It was more about experience than
intelligence.
20. It is obviously hotter away from the poles.
21. The Great White Shark is the most deadly. I suspect as
many 7 year olds know that as adults.

Answer Key to Proper Urinal Etiquette Test
So these are the answers to my test. The rules that I mention are at the bottom. Opposing views are welcome... brutal attacks of my test are not.
Easy
1. D (rule 1)
2. B (rule 3)
3. C (rule 1)
4. A or D (rule 2)
5. D (rule 5)
Medium
6. A (rule 5 outweighs rule 3)
7. A (rule 1 and tiebreaker rule)
8. C (rule 4) Only placement that avoids a coupling.
9. B (not A because of rule 5. B over C because of tiebreaker
rule)
10. C (rule 1)
Challengers
11. A (rule 5 and tiebreaker rule)
12. D (not A or B because of rule 1. D over C because of rule
2)
13. C/D (Not A because of rule 5. Not B because that man should be
avoided. I do not believe the situation merits D, but I gave it
almost full credit anyway. C is the best choice.)
14. B (In the absence of a true buffer, this placement creates more
of an artificial buffer than A. Think of the angles.)
15. D (This is a rare situation where even rule 5 must be violated.
Common sense dictates this. Those who chose A failed to fully
comprehend the dangers of the man between B and C.)
Your rules again...
1. Buffer urinals are great.
2. Being next to a wall is good.
3. Using the small sized urinal is bad.
4. Unneccesarily "coupling" yourself is very bad.
5. Going between two men is nearly criminal, and is always the last
option.
6. Tie goes to the first urinal encountered.
