I'm Smarter Than a 5th Grader

I watched for the first time tonight. "Who was the only person to be elected US President four times?" for $300,000?!? "Ivan the Terrible was a czar of what country" for $500,000!?! Some of the earlier ones I'm not sure if I knew or guessed. Was it ligaments or tendons that attach muscles to bone? I said tendons and it was right.

The contestant bailed before the $1,000,000 question: "Which Frenchman was the first European explorer to navigate the Saint Lawrence River in Canada?" The answer is Jacques Cartier and I had no clue. If I were Canadian I might have known it but oh well.
