  • i just learned that shit in 11th grade AP US History.

  • I hate how they make him say "I'm not smarter than a fifth grader" even though he knew the answer and made a logical choice in stopping

  • He made a smart decision. He said sometimes he knew the answer to the 1 mil question and sometimes he didn't. If he HAD been wrong he "would have kicked himself in the morning."

    Most people who go for the million dollars end up being wrong... that's part of the gameshow system: pressure them into risking more, then they lose more in the end and you don't have to pay up as much. Statistically, you're more likely to net more if you back out early.

    It may not look "cool," but it's smarter.

  • I find that a lot of questions on this show are not 5th grade questions. I'm a smart guy and do very well on trivia-based game shows while playing at home, but there is no way I learned some of the stuff they ask when I was in 5th grade.

    Also, how do they decide what is a "5th grade question" and what isn't?

  • i knew that.....oh well

  • he didnt win over 3million on jeopardy.. lol look at his face when jeff said that.. xD he knew he was wrong.

  • I just learned that in 8th grade. O____O

  • lesson learned: take risks in life

  • @puresmilinbob Well, since he was talking about the nose, he's talking about the Jewish race of people and not the religion.

  • he won 2.5 million dollars on Jeopardy not over 3 o.O

  • This show makes me realize how screwed the education system is in the south. Most of questions in the subjects weren't even covered until I got to high school, and some of the harder questions I only knew because took the time out of school to learn various subjects. Though I do realize that a lot of these questions are meant to be off the wall things so the average person wouldn't win big, but it is still sad to see that people can't answer some of the easier questions on this show.

  • he's a really smart guy, but i respect how he's not overconfident
