One of the helper kids got one wrong one time that I recall. They don't usually show the home audience the kids' wrong answers, but Foxworthy made it a point of pointing it out to add some drama. I think it was the question about how many "i's" there are in illiterate...about half the kids got it wrong.

Was that the same moran last week that had to use a cheat to figure out what country boarders the US to the north? I couldn't stand watching her...waving her arms up in the air for what reason? Because she realized how stupid she was? WTH???
I couldn't believe the last lady couldn't figure out Australia was the continent that was also a country. Who knew that the United States and Canada were now just under one country, North America??? And who can ever forget the country of Europe? She did well, but left a moran.

I'm already getting tired of this show. Contestants on game shows are so annoying more times than not I hope they lose. That and they drag the show out so much. They get through about 1 question per segment.

And I don't believe Antarctica has ever been established as a country. Doesn't basically a wide range of governments have territories or areas they go down there to do work in? I am not at all familiar with those details, but I think we need to wait for Al Gore's global warming to really mess up the planet before that continent is the warm and lush paradise it apparently was millions of years ago for anybody to want to make it a country.
A quick search on Wikipedia tells me 12 countries signed a treaty over Antarctica.
As the only uninhabited continent, Antarctica has no government and belongs to no country. Various countries claim areas of it. The area between 90°W and 150°W is the only part of Antarctica, indeed the only solid land on Earth, not claimed by any country.

Re: "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?"
Travis Kelce is considering how to gain yards on a new field of play.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is in discussions to host a celebrity-focused reboot of the long-running game show “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” that would stream via Amazon Prime Video, according to two people familiar with the matter. The deal, if signed, would represent the football great’s latest move toward general entertainment after appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” the reality series “Catching Kelce” and a podcast he hosts with his brother, Jason.
Amazon Prime Video declined to make executives available for comment, and CAA, the agency that represents Kelce, could not be reached for immediate comment. There are some questions, according to the people familiar with discussions, about how much of a commitment Kelce could make to the venture if he continues playing football.
The new version of the program, originally hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy and appearing on Fox’s broadcast network, would rely on celebrity guests rather than children, according to these people.
Kelce would take the helm of a durable property. “Fifth Grader” ran on Fox for three seasons starting in 2007 before moving to syndication. It returned to Fox for a fourth season, then migrated in a new version to Paramount Global’s Nickelodeon, where it was hosted by John Cena.
He would not be the first athlete to host a game show. Michael Strahan has led a modern version of “The $100,000 Pyramid” on ABC, and Peyton Manning has hosted a retooled version of “College Bowl” for NBC and Peacock.
Producers would no doubt hope to leverage Kelce’s relationship with singer and musician Taylor Swift to draw new fans to any series that might come to fruition. Swift’s appearances at various NFL match-ups involving the Chiefs last season — including the team’s appearance in Super Bowl LVIII — caught the eye of many younger consumers who might not ordinarily be football fans.

You have to start thinking about life after football as he probably only has a few years left in him.
