Cops vs. Firefighters
May 8

American heroes take the class by storm today, as we find out who's smarter... Firemen or policemen?

First up, a 29-year-old from Coldwater Canyon Elementary, STEVE HAMM. He's here with wife and co-workers... and safety dog. He brought his helmet for good luck. "It's gonna win me a million dollars today."

First up to help is Mackenzie.

How many keys are there on a modern standard piano?

Sierra already has an answer. Steve never really played the piano. He uses his COPY. Steve would've guessed 26. That's not right. Rest of the class said... 88. Correct answer: 88. If Sierra doesn't have 88, Steve is 86'ed.

Sierra wrote... 88! That's $50,000. Now we come to the hard part, because he's out of help.

The laws of motions are named for what English scientist who first published them in 1687?

He's risking $25,000 for another $50,000. But he'd rather not take that swing. Steve Hamm drops out with $50,000. Dog likes that decision.

He would've said Newton. He would've gotten $100,000.

We've had a firefighter. Now it's time for a cop. He's a 44-year-old police officer from Oak Lawn, IL who attended St. Gerald's Catholic Academy, DANIEL OLSEN. His best subject: art. His worst subjects: math & English.

Here to watch is his first-grade teacher wife and children.

First to help our copper out is the class genius, Nathan.
