Season Finale
 May 15

Tonight on the season finale of 5th Grader, an RN who was a police officer and a PhD gets his crack at the million and a chance to add "millionaire" to his CV.

That man, a 45-year-old RN who attended Walt Whitman Elementary in Tulsa, OK... STEPHAN SCOGGINS. He has a PhD in public health and was a police officer.

His stack starts with Mackenzie.

1st Grade Measurements $1,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
In the US, which season begins in one calendar year and ends in another?
a) Spring
b) Winter
c) Fall

Stephan thinks it's the one that begins in the END of the year, winter... Got it for $1000.
 

2nd Grade English $2,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
TRUE OR FALSE? The suffix goes at the beginning of a word.

Stephan says that the beginning is a PRE-fix. FALSE is his answer, and he's got $2000 easy.

Round 2, and up comes Sierra, who wants to be a coroner.

3rd Grade Math $5,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
If a pound of peanuts costs 48 cents, how much does 5/8 of a pound of peanuts cost?

Stephan works the math in his head... but ends up PEEKing. Sierra said 40c. Stephan agrees with that. But 48 divided by 8 times 5 is 30! Stephan flunks out with nothing.

Next up, a 31-year-old financial analyst who attended Alderwood Elementary, BENJAMIN JENG. He says he wasn't that good of a student. In fact, he's a "stupid chicken" according to his mom. His nickname was Benji, and in Chinese, that means "stupid chicken."

Mackenzie gets the call down for the first round...

1st Grade Math $1,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
TRUE OR FALSE? There are exactly four odd numbers between 2 and 8.

Let's see... 3, 5, and 7. That's FALSE, and Benji's got $1000.

1st Grade World Geography $2,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
How many continents share a land border with Antarctica?

This one's fairly easy... ZERO for "that snowy thing in the south". He's right again for $2000. Sierra had "Zero, zip, nada, zilcho."

Next round of questioning begins with Miss Zero, Zip, Nada, Zilcho. In the crowd tonight, Mr. Ferrazi, his favorite teacher, who says that Benji once chased a girl into the girls' bathroom during a game of hide-and-go-seek.

Not a proud moment.

2nd Grade Spelling $5,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
How many times does the letter "E" appear in the name of the following federal holiday...

"Independence Day." I count four. Benjamin goes with 3.... Not right. Sierra wrote... 4! SAVED!

3rd Grade Animal Science $10,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
A drake is an adult male of what species of bird?

Benjamin COPIES. He would've said "eagle." Not even close. It was "duck". Sierra said... Duck!

Time for the milestone question. Here to help is the class genius, Nathan. His nickname: Nay-Rod.

3rd Grade US Geography $25,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
The Four Corners is the only place in America where 4 states meet at one point. Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico are three of the states. What is the fourth?

"Utah." $25,000, guaranteed money.

4th Grade Earth Science $50,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
Aurora Borealis is a name for what natural phenomenon?
a) Northern Lights
b) Southern Lights
c) Solar eclipse

There's no reason not to answer this, as Benji goes with A... He's got $50,000.

Next up to help Benjamin is Olivia.

2nd Grade Social Studies $100,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
TRUE OR FALSE? Betsy Ross was a US First Lady.

We know she sewed the flag. But there was no "President Ross". Benjamin goes with FALSE. All the kids are right on this. So is Benji for $100,000!

5th Grade Nature $175,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
Copernicus, the legendary 16th Century astronomer, was born in what country?

Benjamin's not chicken, but he's definitely a little crazy. Benjamin decides eventually to drop out of school with $100,000.

His gut instinct was Italy. Olivia's answer... Italy. Correct... Poland.

This may be the season finale, but there's more where that came from. Stay tuned...
