Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?: Difference between revisions

 

In September 2009, the hour-long show ended and a half-hour syndicated version replaced it, with a top prize of $250,000. The syndicated version featured a slightly different format; each category was worth a dollar amount based off its level, winnings went to a bank (which got erased if a player answered incorrectly), and the player could opt to play a bonus question to increase their winnings by 10. This version was canned in March 2011.

* [[Bonus Round]]: The Million-Dollar Question on FOX, the 10× (5th Grade) Bonus Question in the syndicated run.

* [[Celebrity Edition]]: There were two runs of celebrity weeks, where celebs from [[Jeopardy!|Ken Jennings]] to [[Larry the Cable Guy]] (talk about [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]!) played for money.

* [[Unexpectedly Obscure Answer]]: While most questions fit the theme, a few might better suit the show "Do You Remember All the Footnotes In Your 5th-Grade Textbooks?" Yet others were, while still solvable by any clear-minded adult, clearly higher than 5th-Grade level; algebra appeared on the show, for instance, even though algebra is traditionally taught to high-schoolers and occasionally middle-school upperclassmen.

* [[Who Wants to Be Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]: Mainly with the lifelines.

* [[Catch Phrase]] / (partial) [[Title Drop]]: The theme song.

** At the end of each game, if the top prize wasn't won, the contestant (at Foxworthy's insistence) turned to the camera and said "My name is [name], and I am ''not'' smarter than a fifth-grader." If the contestant ''won'', they declaring themselves Smarter Than a 5th Grader.
