Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

I have only seen one adult reach the fifth grade, most fail by the third and have to cheat off of the kids during the first and second grade. It is very sad, a train-wreck.

You have a choice of questions from first grade up to fifth in a variety of subjects, you can cheat off of, be saved by, peek at the paper of, the students (a group of actual fifth graders).
I read a lot and am into "nerdy" stuff I guess, the questions seem simple to me.
To have to struggle on things like "is the komodo dragon extinct" seems insane to me.

I, also, have yet to see anyone attack with a decent strategy.
Attack the higher grades, and preferred subjects of the kids (you can ask) first, that way you can cheat off of them first and get those questions out of the way while you can cheat off of the kids with those questions. Then you will have the easy questions while you are out of cheats.
If you listen, the kids are always yelling for them to ask these questions, but no one ever does.
