Alfred Alex was the first contestant to go almost all the way—almost becoming the first “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” millionaire. |
He went almost all the way. He answered two questions with no help (none left) from his classmates. And had he not decided to drop out before the final question, which for fun he answered—correctly—Alex Alfred would have been, as host Jeff Foxworthy said, their first millionaire.
Here are the questions Alex worked his way through:
1. 4TH GRADE U.S. HISTORY
What is the first name of the former U.S. president, Taylor?

What is the root word of the word “longest”?
