	tell that to FOX, it was an actual question from the show with category "4th grade social studies." i agree though, no 4th grader knows about the BLM

	it would be easier on the actual show because a lot of the questions are multiple choice. i like this quiz though

	The Aleutian islands extend about 30 degrees of longitude further west than Hawaii.

	I don't even know about the BLM now. Maybe the kid who they tested these on is the son of the director of the BLM.

	The Aleutian Islands are part of Alaska and they are farther west than Hawaii, it's black and white!

	Thankfully Bureau of Land Management was easy to guess from the clues... had no idea besides that :P

	Didn't get the fourth one...all the people above posting about the Aleutian Islands are idiots. They aren't a separate unit like Guam or Samoa that is owned by the USA, they are simply a part of the state.

	Oh wow... I actually typed in meters before the correct answer for the 3rd one. I am a college student... and hopefully just more tired than a 5th grader?

	I kept trying different scientific terms for the Aurora Borealis... didn't even occur to me that the question was asking for its more common name and not a description of the phenomenon.

	@Moomba44: Samoa is an independent nation that is not a part of the United States. You were probably talking about the American Samoa.

	If you all want a "trick" question, it would have asked about the easternmost state. You all would be pooping bricks when that came up Alaska too. So why the hate for the question as currently written? You wouldn't say New South Wales is Southernmost Australian state just because you think Tasmania is insignificant, would you?

	Northern Lights, while not uber-difficult, is definitely not something I learned until well after 3rd grade (not a complaint about the quiz). Also, Kevin's a liar.

	good quiz man

	Yeah nice quiz

	Leeny:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 03:35 GMT		3 points
	Just FYI - the kids on the show are given "reading materials" which contain most of the info they are asked about later. That explains why a 5th grader on the show might know about the BLM, because I sure as hell haven't heard of it until today.

	shawnkay:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT		4 points
	Cool quiz. I got all of them except two... (being Canadian I didn't know the 4th president or what the BLM was)

	im scottish so i didnt know half of them but im still rightly ashamed at losing

	trishtea:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 15:53 GMT		3 points
	I got them all (which as a PhD student makes me very relieved! lol!) but had to guess at the BLM one...and yes Icecream, I put in metres at first too!

	Style suggestion: Change your first column to 60% width (on the Style page). The clues are much bigger than the answers. It will make the quiz much easier to read.

	2nd grade astronomy annoyed me. I overthought it. The word heavenly made me almost give up this quiz altogether. That question is terribly worded, but off course, an elementary student who doesn't study astronomy would understand it perfectly fine. I knew it was land management.. forgot what B would be.

	Today, I took a quiz on Sporcle. I spent half the time on the clock wondering why it wasn't accepting my clearly right answer. When the time ended, it ends up that I spelled "Bureau" wrong. FML
