With adjectives ... You test which word is a describing word: "The "hungry" dog ... ate the super crunchy food." What "kind" of dog? → a "hungry" dog What "kind" of food? → "crunchy" dogfood "super" in: "...the super crunchy dogfood" modifies the adjective "crunchy" So that is an adverb, not an adjective.
know you won’t ever read this Doc, but here it is for the record.... “why would someone choose the hardships of obesity and unhealthy living taking years off their life”? Well as an obese male of 32 years of age today I’m going to tell you... I don’t do anything about my weight for one simple reason, you ready?...it won’t fix the rest of me.... Losing weight. It won’t fix my lack of height (I’m only 5 ft 8), it won’t fix my ocd, it won’t fix my general anxiety disorder, it won’t resolve my anxious-preoccupied attachment issues. Losing weight won’t help me stay in school and finish my degree, nor will it help me keep a job, it won’t help me move out and get my own place (even if it could how would I pay rent with no income?), it won’t help me make more friends or lead to a richer social life. At best, it would be only one item off a list of a dozen other things still wrong with me. I find it a distraction to waste monumental effort on dropping weight, only to still have the remaining problems aforementioned. If my weight were only one of 3 or 4 things I’d be more motivated to change, but wasting time and effort only for the bragging rights to say “yeah I still got problems but hey...at least I ain’t a fat azz.” 😏 .... If that’s the only reward I would reap from weight loss - it’s not worth the effort.
Yeah! He also has videos where he accurately analyzes medical scenes in movies and tv shows, he should become a real doctor, he'll definitely be good at it.

As an artist, it baffles me that mixing colors isn't a common knowledge as adults, my cousin who is an engineer also does not know colors so don't feel bad about that hesitation mike.
As an artist, I'm even more confused by the fact that Itten's color wheel is still being taught in school as if you could get a nice shade of orange by just mixing red and yellow. Especially considering that teaching the actual prime colors, cyan, magenta and yellow, isn't harder at all.
@@lelrond I second that motion. Green using cyan and yellow is so much better than using green and blue. I teach a little bit of photography on the side and the second thing I teach after how to use that camera is how a camera creates a colour image and how that translates when printing. You can't teach that at all without understanding additive and subtractive colour mixing and why the classical model is wrong. Once you understand it correcting an images dodgy colours is so much easier and getting the prints closer to what you intended becomes a lot more simple to fix when things aren't quite right. If you are not in a profession that requires knowing it however then it's not exactly must have knowledge.
As an aspiring astronomer, when he said Mars was closer to the sun than Earth, I almost cried, then when he got it right I looked up in the sky in happiness.
For the record, this is why you put commas between multiple leading adjectives. The comma is there to tell you it's not an adverb for the adjective ahead of it.
"Remember, I'm an immigrant, so I'm allowed to struggle with this!" As an immigrant myself, I wish that I had know that line when I was in school. That way, I could had use it during English class. 💯
Hey, also, Doc, the century question is hard to answer because we forget to take into account that there is no year zero. We started counting at 1 CE (or AD), not at 0. So, when you put 100 years on the calendar, you found yourself at 101 CE, not 100 which was only 99 years from the starting point. Consequently, the first day of the 20th century was 1/1/1901, not 1900.
Odd to keep it like that after the invention of 0 though. It would make more sense to insert a 0th year into the calendar and just add +1 to all the BCE dates.
On the grammar, sometimes would be an adverb telling when. Bear is a proper noun as the subject. Gets and drools are the compound verbs. And is a coordinating conjunction. Really and super are adverbs telling how much. All over is an adverb telling where. Hungry is an adjective describing bear. Crunchy is an adjective describing food. Food is a direct object telling what. Lastly, his is a possessive pronoun. Nobody cares, but I really enjoy grammar and wanted to do a breakdown of the sentence. If I have anything wrong, please let me know. I’m always excited to learn more.
Really great except "his" in this case modifies "food" so it is a possessive adjective. If the sentence were, instead, "His was crunchy," then "his" would be acting as the subject noun and thus a possessive pronoun.
This honestly makes me feel better that even a doctor struggles with some basic academic stuff. But also a little worrying that a doctor doesn't know some of this. But then again, maybe his brain dumped all the "useless" early academic info in favor of keeping all the good medical info.
You would be surprised to see how much regular people have forgotten from school, just because it's useless. Your doctor doesn't need to know the order of planets, he doesn't need to understand the formation of a sentence as long as he can Form one without errors. Everything he needs to know is how your body works precisely, and how to cure you. Rest is pretty much superflue.
most general knowledge are really just thrown under the rug once you start having to specialize in one thing since you put most of your time in understanding and learning what you have to for your work. so i don't think its a cause for concern.
These videos are so fun. Makes you realize doctors are human too and don't know everything! It's comforting. Mike has a huge knowledge of medicin though! 😊

As a mathematician, I was really impressed you remembered the definition of a prime number, which made it so much more disappointing when you didn’t realize 2 satisfied that definition 🤦♂️
@@allenmoyashides8395 1 is not considered prime. Primes and composites are specifically defined to be greater than 1. This is because a factor of 1 doesn’t contribute anything to the multiplicative structure of a number. There are also generalizations of primes which end up being distinct from the 1-like elements.

Mike, you gotta remember there was no year “Zero” therefore the first year of the modern (Gregorian) calendar was 1, so a century is 100 years, 100+1=101 (2nd century)
This helped me so much with my insecurity about cultural or general education questions. I have a terrible memory and I feel soo embarassed when I get something like this wrong. Also some people just like to rub it in your face and keep asking "how can you not know that" lol
I went to grade school in Michigan and they taught us an acronym to use to remember the names of the Great Lakes: HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior)
I think "dog food" is actually a compound noun, which is more or less when both words are equally important? I googled for some examples: "tennis shoe" or "golf ball." Whereas if it were "blue food," "blue" would be an adjective describing the food. Like how a "green house" (adj+noun)is a house that is green, but a "greenhouse" (compound noun) is the glass structure for growing plants out of season. Compound nouns can be two words separated by a space, hyphenated, or two words smushed together, like "bedroom."
Dentists are not doctors. That being said, as a doctor he should know the answer. Also, it shows that his knowledge of basic physics is faulty, since he doesn't understand the hard substance like enamel can be scratched by another harder substance, like the crystals found in some tooth pastes.

Don't worry Doctor Mike, I'm an engineer and I only scored a ~65% for these! English ain't my first language and I've never been to the US, so most geography questions are justified for me though.
No relax it's because he said "l've never TO been TO US " First of all he used two "to" and second of all if you say US you need to say THE US but when you use USA it is not needed (btw this is not hate I'm not good at my second language either and make similar mistakes I just find that for some people it is helpful to correct them )
For the century question, here is an easy way to think of it. The first century starts year 1 and is 100 years, so it ends year 100. The 2nd century would then start after that, so year 101, and so on.
I remember this being a big thing at the turn of the millennium. The world celebrated it on 1/1/2000 but all the "well actually" people loved to remind everybody that the new millennium didn't technically start until 2001.
@@jonharper5919 I mean, changing the first two digits of the year was a good enough reason. And that fact that this is a question asked on a trivia show feels wrong.
I knew the answer because I know a lot of trivia. But I'm glad Dr. Mike called him because his reasoning made sense. I was glad to hear the complete explanation from the MD.
I live in Maine and I’ve been to Acadia National Park, it’s a beautiful place but gets packed every summer with tourists. Bar Harbor is also nearby and had amazing seafood.

The reason the game is called "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader" is because adults who have been out of grade school for a while have forgotten all the "facts" that have been proven useless to them irl, (or children are taught/not taught stuff today that are different from "back in the day") and not every adult has gone to college. Now, why 5th grade, as opposed to 12th, is probably humiliation factor. In other words: Don't feel bad, doc. (Barring the medical questions because I've never been to medical school.) I'm a born-and-raised American, and I did a little worse than you did.
This is a totally bs explanation. It’s about what kind of recall people have of things they’ve learned in their lives. I knew all of the answers except the Acadia one. Does that make me smarter than average or am I just good at recall? Perhaps academic intelligence is based on this ability. The truth is there’s no real scale for human intellect because there are different types of intelligences: academic, artistic, musical, athletic, etc.
@@fezzik7619 First: Please don't bite my head off; I have no actual statistical data - it was built more around my own logic and reasoning. Second: "recall" = "intelligence"; at least, to human perception. You can read every book in existence, but unless you can recall what you've read, it's all wasted effort. Third: Your final point this the generations-long argument against standardized test scores. Everyone agrees with you, but people need to see numbers on a spreadsheet even if they, ultimately, mean nothing!
I think this is good reasoning. Also, all the other skills are based off recall, its the building block for other intelligences. For example, if you're an artist can you get by without recall? Yes, I guess, but its going to be harder to remember what you're trying to do (Depending on the art obviously, this doesn't really apply to abstract). And musical as well, you need to be able to remember the notes/keys.
I got 100% and the million dollar question. And it's been 36 years since I was in 5th grade, 31 of them as a daily pot smoker. But I didn't always know all the answers on every episode of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader that I watched. These questions just happened to be things I've randomly retained. I used to read a lot of encyclopedias as a kid, I have a lot of little obscure facts running around in my head from that.
The last question was actually pretty simple if you do history in Canada. Acadian's used be what the inhabitants of Canada were called. And Acadia at the time was on the east coast and Maine was once part of Acadia. When you see how close Maine is to Canada it only makes sense for it to be Maine. - A 13 year old Candian girl.
That's not quite right. Acadians was never used as a term for all inhabitants of Canada. Acadia was one of 5 colonies that comprised Nouvelle France. Consequently, only French settlers from that colony were called Acadians.
As an Aussie, I'm so glad I knew where Acadia National Park was and Doc Mike didn't. But, I only know, cause a story I wrote was set in Maine, and I researched the hell out of that state.
I legit laughed how he struggled for the "earth is 3rd or 5th?" question! 😂 He knows toungue-twisting medical terms but doesn't know if *Earth* is 3rd or 5th? 😂😂
I think this video goes to show that the concept of “common sense” is at least somewhat exaggerated. Yes there are things that most people know but the average person actually has more blind spots in general knowledge than you might think
Ironically I think your understanding of what "common sense" means is a blind spot in your knowledge. Common sense refers to judgement, these are facts that you either know or don't know and logic and judgement have no part in them.
@@andrewthezeppo Does it? I've never heard any two people use "common sense" the same way and at this point I'm assuming it's just something people say to make themselves feel better.
@@kirbwarriork3371 yes if you Google "'common sense' definition" it says "sounds, practical judgement concerning everyday matters or too perceive, understand and judge in a manner shared by nearly all people". Like it's common sense not to touch fire or walk into traffic. Things like knowing the order of the planets or that tooth enamel is the hardest part of the body are not common sense they are facts you either learned or didn't.
@@andrewthezeppo See, that's a definition that not only makes clear sense, but also is "common". I can't tell you how many times I've heard "common sense isn't common". But this definition also means that it's largely useless in regular conversation (which might be largely a good thing).
I can say that Dr Mike is the person I watch every time I feel bad. He makes me forget about my problems and his videos are always interesting somehow 😍
*"I just don't think it's Hartford cause it feels like it's Hartford, which means that it's not it."* Lesson of the day, don't believe in yourself -Believe in Dr.Mike who believes in you- 😂
I've been in the Statue of Liberty too, actually. I walked up all those stairs and went to the crown and went back down with neither of my parents carrying me. I was 6 years old, and the next day my legs hurt so bad. I don't remember much about that trip but I remember my legs being so sore and asking my parents to carry me. But they said no.
3:36 I mean, you asked, and I was top of my English class for most of my school years… “Hungry” is an adjective because it’s _describing_ a feeling or state of being. Ex, “I am hungry.” Words like “super” and “really” are called adverbs, and they exist to compliment or emphasize a verb, adjective, or another adverb. So, in saying “really hungry” or “super crunchy” the adverbs exist to describe the degree to which the adjective exists.
I've been struggling with an anxiety and depression crisis after my grandma passed away and watching his videos relax me somehow, he's got a great energy, just check at 9:35 he's funny without even trying, good job Dr Mike! Thanks for sharing your knowledge in an understandable way and having fun at the same time 🙏
The century question is definitely tricky one, but it’s correct since a century always starts with a year 01 because there was not the year 0 in our history :) But it is certainly confusing.
I know that's technically correct but I still don't want to agree with it XD It just feels so much more natural to say that all the years in a given century start with the same hundred. So everything with 19- in front is the 20th century, everything with 20- in front the 21st, etc. etc.
@@MerelvandenHurk Yes, it is natural. But then wouldn't we be calling 0001-0100 the 0th century? That doesn't feel natural because we generally start from "first". I sympathize with your point of view though.
Loved seeing Dr.Mike be wrong, due to bad reasoning, only to immediately seek an explanation in the pursuit of knowledge. He's so humble yet secure in his abilities and understanding. more people should react like him when learning they're wrong. Love to see it🙂
He is my favorite doctor and regardless if he is right or wrong he'll always makes learning interesting and fun. Hoping for more healthy, exciting and productive years for all of us 😁
Oh this made me feel much better because I suck and disliked history in school a little geography too but I love maths, sciences and literature (not the history part of literature though😅) and the fact that you excelle in your field and are not ashamed to not have the same knowledge in the other topics shows how humble you are and that it’s ok to not know everything as long as you’re good in what you do 👏🏾
This was soo much fun, one of my favourite D Mike’s videos. We get to see his fun side and the editing is so great. Thanks for entertaining us while educating us at the same time. You are such a blessing to this world Dr Mike. Love from Namibia

Doctor Mike, I just wanted to say thank you for giving me a reason to laugh, and also teaching me. I haven't been the best this holiday season, but when I watch you videos I feel a little better, I lost a loved one today, and I watched your videos as a way to distract me. Thank you.

@@_XAmbitionX_ He called a dentist, that's why I said dentist and not "Mike". Hardness is very different from brittleness or toughness. The dentist referred to "scratching" inappropriately, which relates to Mohs. A toothbrush can't "scratch" a normal tooth - it might be able to damage it in some other way - I'm not a dentist but I know something about material science.
@@UltimateGamerCC A dentist is a doctor specialized in teeth. Like a cardiologist is specialized in hearts. A dentist is a doctor. Dentists can perform reconstructive surgeries in our heads( because our mouths are in our heads), whereby if they did not know about the body the same way any other doctor would, they would have killed us all off already.
3:36 adjectives describe nouns and pronouns; it answers the question "what?" so hungry describes bear "Bear is what? Bear is hungry" while crunchy describes dog food "The dog food is what? The dog food is crunchy." Super is an adverb; adverb describes verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs; it answers the question "how?". "How hungry is bear? Bear is REALLY hungry". "How crunchy is the dog food? It is SUPER crunchy"
Few hints to remember-- Great Lakes spell HOMES-- Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior. Planets are: My (Mercury) Very (Venus) Educated (Earth) Mother (Mars) Just (Jupiter) Served (Saturn) Us (Uranus) Nachos (Neptune). Used to be Nine Pizzas (Pluto).

In that sentence, “super” is an adverb. I’m an elementary school teacher and have 5th graders who would definitely say it’s an adjective though. So don’t feel bad! Also, I don’t know any students that would’ve known which president that was a picture of!
The real question is what is "dog" in the sentence? Because it's acting as an adjective. It's "dog" food rather than "human" food or "plain" food. So is dog a noun? And adjective? Something else that pretty much nobody learns about? That's right! It's a noun adjunct or attributive noun (or one of the many other names this can take)! So honestly I'm not sure I liked the question because of that. The adverb "trick" was fair game though.
@@plukerpluck yup, I could definitely see a student (or someone whose first language isn’t English, or honestly any person) being confused about the dog food part. It sounds like it’s describing the type of food. I feel like they were trying to throw him off with that sentence. As a teacher myself, I read that sentence and immediately thought the answer was 3; hungry, super, and crunchy. Then realized super was an adverb, but yeah English is by no means easy and I have all the respect in the world for people who learn English as a second language and can speak it fluently!
For those who wants to learn more: To put it simply the teeth has layers: The Enamel, Dentin, and Pulp. *Enamel* is the hard outer protective covering. *Dentin* is underneath the enamel and is very sensitive. *Pulp* is the core; where you get the nerves and blood vessels. Enamel could be damaged by brushing too hard or drinking too much acidic drinks which causes erosion, etc. No protective barrier causes the Dentin to be exposed; hence, tooth sensitivity and cavities. If caries reaches your Pulp it could cause immense pain or eventually death of the pulp tissue and you'll either have to extract it or get implants or root canal treatments. *So take care of your teeth to keep dental bills out of the way. Prevention is key. Source: Dental Student
Genuine question: I have a condition that pulls calcium from the bones when my body is struggling (so also my teeth). Does lessened calcium also affect the enamel and its strength? If you don't know the answer please just ignore it.. I just don't have a dentist I can ask this stuff to.
When I was in TAFE (technical college for Australia), we were actually given a choice as a class - 50% passing grade with closed book exams, or needing 90% to pass but it's open book. We voted on 90% and I'm so glad we did I don't care what the industry is, if you only do 50% of your job correctly, something is getting broken and someone might get hurt.. plus in modern society we DO have calculators/textbooks/encyclopedias whatever in our pocket at all times. Being able to quickly find and identify the correct answer to your problem through a search in texts/internet is far more useful than remembering only half of what you need.
Said in our most whiney voices: "I went to 47 years of school. I'm going to blow this right out of the water." All of us watching Mike struggle through the whole thing: priceless.

10:32 I can't believe the video I watched about decomposition in a casket came in handy. The only reason I knew that tooth enamel was the hardest was because I remembered that the teeth are the last things to decompose.

Imagine hearing the title _Third Rock from the Sun_ and not knowing which planet it references.
There were actually 3 adjectives in that sentence. Probably. Crunchy and hungry were both adjectives, but ‘dog’ could also be considered one because the object of the preposition could be ‘food’ by itself, and dog would have also been an adjective.
Some of them yeah but it depends on your desires. For doctors science is a must, some needs maths. It depends. Either way school helps a lot in where i live but idk for American tho, i heard that they got pretty bad system.
I'm conflicted :D some of these were so easy that I could answer them in my sleep and Mike still got them wrong, but from my EU standpoint, many of the USA specific questions were REALLY hard. I managed to guess a few though.
Honestly, it is weird they get president pictures in school and are tested about them. I don't think I ever had to say which queen was pictured, nor prime minister.
@@MissMoontree yeah, same here in Italy. In middle or high school you may get questions like "who was king/president when so-and-so happened?" But no pictures. That would be weird
From my EU understanding The Presidents Of The United States Of America, is like a really big deal to them, could be wrong though. I guess it's the same with the flag, it's like SUPER important to them, where as if I was to see a neighbour randomly burning my countries flag (Sweden), I'd be like "whatever".

E
With adjectives ... You test which word is a describing word: "The "hungry" dog ... ate the super crunchy food."
What "kind" of dog? → a "hungry" dog
What "kind" of food? → "crunchy" dogfood
"super" in: "...the super crunchy dogfood"
modifies the adjective "crunchy"
So that is an adverb, not an adjective.
So the word hungry is an adjective and when used like that it becomes a predicate adjective

On the adjectives one, Mike was basically that picture of "I don't know how, but you used the wrong formula and got the right result"
For the record, this is why you put commas between multiple leading adjectives. The comma is there to tell you it's not an adverb for the adjective ahead of it.

Hey, also, Doc, the century question is hard to answer because we forget to take into account that there is no year zero. We started counting at 1 CE (or AD), not at 0. So, when you put 100 years on the calendar, you found yourself at 101 CE, not 100 which was only 99 years from the starting point. Consequently, the first day of the 20th century was 1/1/1901, not 1900.
Thank you I needed this.
Odd to keep it like that after the invention of 0 though. It would make more sense to insert a 0th year into the calendar and just add +1 to all the BCE dates.
exactly
So 1900 is in the 19th century with 1899??
@@minetruly _So 1900 is in the 19th century with 1899??_
Yes.
On the grammar, sometimes would be an adverb telling when. Bear is a proper noun as the subject. Gets and drools are the compound verbs. And is a coordinating conjunction. Really and super are adverbs telling how much. All over is an adverb telling where. Hungry is an adjective describing bear. Crunchy is an adjective describing food. Food is a direct object telling what. Lastly, his is a possessive pronoun.
Nobody cares, but I really enjoy grammar and wanted to do a breakdown of the sentence. If I have anything wrong, please let me know. I’m always excited to learn more.
Bro I care thanks ❤ I love the breakdown 😁
hearing "super" was an adjective hurt me mentally for some reason and im not even american 😹Thanks you gave my brain a moment of peace 🙏🏻
Really great except "his" in this case modifies "food" so it is a possessive adjective. If the sentence were, instead, "His was crunchy," then "his" would be acting as the subject noun and thus a possessive pronoun.
This honestly makes me feel better that even a doctor struggles with some basic academic stuff. But also a little worrying that a doctor doesn't know some of this. But then again, maybe his brain dumped all the "useless" early academic info in favor of keeping all the good medical info.
You would be surprised to see how much regular people have forgotten from school, just because it's useless. Your doctor doesn't need to know the order of planets, he doesn't need to understand the formation of a sentence as long as he can Form one without errors. Everything he needs to know is how your body works precisely, and how to cure you. Rest is pretty much superflue.
Me too! I'm torn on whether this is reassuring or worrying.
He probably didn’t pay attention in grade school and started to pay attention in high school and stayed super focused in college.
He got all the medical stuff. And can argue that that one was a dentist thing; so doesn't count. Good enough for me.
most general knowledge are really just thrown under the rug once you start having to specialize in one thing since you put most of your time in understanding and learning what you have to for your work. so i don't think its a cause for concern.

@@FlowerPower-cf2fp yeah dog should also be a an adjective
I think "dog food" is actually a compound noun, which is more or less when both words are equally important? I googled for some examples: "tennis shoe" or "golf ball." Whereas if it were "blue food," "blue" would be an adjective describing the food. Like how a "green house" (adj+noun)is a house that is green, but a "greenhouse" (compound noun) is the glass structure for growing plants out of season. Compound nouns can be two words separated by a space, hyphenated, or two words smushed together, like "bedroom."
I like that Mike calls his dentist when he got a dental question wrong, it shows his care for being accurate about medicine
I love how doctor Mike just called another doctor to learn that’s a good doctor
Dentists are not doctors. That being said, as a doctor he should know the answer. Also, it shows that his knowledge of basic physics is faulty, since he doesn't understand the hard substance like enamel can be scratched by another harder substance, like the crystals found in some tooth pastes.

Mike: "yo, that's home, baby!" (1:47)
Side note: when was the last time Doctor Mike even went to Russia?🤭
My favorite thing is Dr.Mike’s obsession with head size. Such a wholesome human 🥰
The reason the game is called "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader" is because adults who have been out of grade school for a while have forgotten all the "facts" that have been proven useless to them irl, (or children are taught/not taught stuff today that are different from "back in the day") and not every adult has gone to college. Now, why 5th grade, as opposed to 12th, is probably humiliation factor.
In other words: Don't feel bad, doc. (Barring the medical questions because I've never been to medical school.) I'm a born-and-raised American, and I did a little worse than you did.
And honestly at least two of the questions he got wrong because of growing up in russia and then moving to here, on top of it.
This is a totally bs explanation. It’s about what kind of recall people have of things they’ve learned in their lives. I knew all of the answers except the Acadia one. Does that make me smarter than average or am I just good at recall? Perhaps academic intelligence is based on this ability. The truth is there’s no real scale for human intellect because there are different types of intelligences: academic, artistic, musical, athletic, etc.
@@fezzik7619 First: Please don't bite my head off; I have no actual statistical data - it was built more around my own logic and reasoning.
Second: "recall" = "intelligence"; at least, to human perception. You can read every book in existence, but unless you can recall what you've read, it's all wasted effort.
Third: Your final point this the generations-long argument against standardized test scores. Everyone agrees with you, but people need to see numbers on a spreadsheet even if they, ultimately, mean nothing!
I think this is good reasoning. Also, all the other skills are based off recall, its the building block for other intelligences. For example, if you're an artist can you get by without recall? Yes, I guess, but its going to be harder to remember what you're trying to do (Depending on the art obviously, this doesn't really apply to abstract). And musical as well, you need to be able to remember the notes/keys.
I got 100% and the million dollar question. And it's been 36 years since I was in 5th grade, 31 of them as a daily pot smoker. But I didn't always know all the answers on every episode of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader that I watched. These questions just happened to be things I've randomly retained. I used to read a lot of encyclopedias as a kid, I have a lot of little obscure facts running around in my head from that.
The last question was actually pretty simple if you do history in Canada. Acadian's used be what the inhabitants of Canada were called. And Acadia at the time was on the east coast and Maine was once part of Acadia. When you see how close Maine is to Canada it only makes sense for it to be Maine.
- A 13 year old Candian girl.
I live in England. What was the first battle of the English civil war? That’s our questions
Personally I would have guessed Louisiana because the Acadians moved there after they were kicked out of Canada.
That's not quite right. Acadians was never used as a term for all inhabitants of Canada. Acadia was one of 5 colonies that comprised Nouvelle France. Consequently, only French settlers from that colony were called Acadians.

“Hungry” is an adjective because it’s _describing_ a feeling or state of being. Ex, “I am hungry.”
Words like “super” and “really” are called adverbs, and they exist to compliment or emphasize a verb, adjective, or another adverb.
So, in saying “really hungry” or “super crunchy” the adverbs exist to describe the degree to which the adjective exists.

In that sentence, “super” is an adverb. I’m an elementary school teacher and have 5th graders who would definitely say it’s an adjective though. So don’t feel bad!

i always confuse adverbs and adjectives
I only knew who it was because of Oversimplified on YT, but I don't think that's age apropriate for kids
The real question is what is "dog" in the sentence? Because it's acting as an adjective. It's "dog" food rather than "human" food or "plain" food. So is dog a noun? And adjective? Something else that pretty much nobody learns about?
That's right! It's a noun adjunct or attributive noun (or one of the many other names this can take)! So honestly I'm not sure I liked the question because of that. The adverb "trick" was fair game though.

“at least its not meters that would be confusing”
**AMERICA INTENSIFIES**
Ik right like that’s just ignorant at that point, anyone who’s ever done physics would know how x10^n works and that’s basically how meters work
For those who wants to learn more:
To put it simply the teeth has layers: The Enamel, Dentin, and Pulp.
*Enamel* is the hard outer protective covering.
*Dentin* is underneath the enamel and is very sensitive.
*Pulp* is the core; where you get the nerves and blood vessels.
Enamel could be damaged by brushing too hard or drinking too much acidic drinks which causes erosion, etc.
No protective barrier causes the Dentin to be exposed; hence, tooth sensitivity and cavities.
If caries reaches your Pulp it could cause immense pain or eventually death of the pulp tissue and you'll either have to extract it or get implants or root canal treatments.
*So take care of your teeth to keep dental bills out of the way. Prevention is key.

One brush a day
Keeps the dental bill away.
Or maybe more than one...
Thank you
Your enamel can also be damaged by bruxism (grinding your teeth) 😭
Hu Tao is taking notes
Genuine question:
I have a condition that pulls calcium from the bones when my body is struggling (so also my teeth). Does lessened calcium also affect the enamel and its strength?
If you don't know the answer please just ignore it.. I just don't have a dentist I can ask this stuff to.
This video is hilarious! “If you say New York I’m going to cry.” 😂 Keep up the great work!
Mike: "I got a 73%, I did terrible!"
Me, attending engineering school: "Cs get degrees."
Me in medical school: 70% is a pass 👍
Guys, that was a fifth grade test! Of course 73% is terrible! 😂
When I was in TAFE (technical college for Australia), we were actually given a choice as a class - 50% passing grade with closed book exams, or needing 90% to pass but it's open book.
We voted on 90% and I'm so glad we did
I don't care what the industry is, if you only do 50% of your job correctly, something is getting broken and someone might get hurt.. plus in modern society we DO have calculators/textbooks/encyclopedias whatever in our pocket at all times.
Being able to quickly find and identify the correct answer to your problem through a search in texts/internet is far more useful than remembering only half of what you need.
@@MotoCat91 that's a very cool way of doing things. I agree 100%.
Only undergrad degrees. The unis I know of allow only 2 C's (or less) for a Master's degree.
Said in our most whiney voices: "I went to 47 years of school. I'm going to blow this right out of the water."
All of us watching Mike struggle through the whole thing: priceless.
😂*barely makes the test* yes, me to, mhm..."

Q: how do you do your taxes
Q: how do you apply for a job
Q: how do you build credit
👆🏼actual knowledge you need in life and they don’t teach you at school.
Alright so actually after summer break I'm gonna be in 4th grade, so imma try to answer these.
1. Honestly I'm making maybe via an app on your phone
2. To apply for a job, you can have a college degree to have a higher chance to get the job. To get the job you need to go to the place, then talk to the manager
3. I'm assuming you mean credit as in the credit card score. So maybe you need to buy stuff to get more credit. Those are my answers! Please correct me
@@Hadi73142 nice answer ! :D
Who else didnt learn most of these bc they wasnt in usa ???
10:50 Enamel is a type of ceramic material, which automatically makes it hard.
10:32 I can't believe the video I watched about decomposition in a casket came in handy. The only reason I knew that tooth enamel was the hardest was because I remembered that the teeth are the last things to decompose.
5:41 "What is the fourth planet from the Sun?"
"This is terrible. Mars is closer to the Sun than Earth. Saturn is no, Saturn is far and has rings. Mercury is right after the Earth? God, is Earth the fourth planet, or is Earth the fifth or third planet?"
I shall have to revise my previous assumption that those who practise medicine are learned in science. Imagine hearing the title _Third Rock from the Sun_ and not knowing which planet it references.
There were actually 3 adjectives in that sentence. Probably. Crunchy and hungry were both adjectives, but ‘dog’ could also be considered one because the object of the preposition could be ‘food’ by itself, and dog would have also been an adjective.
Nah its just a noun combination
This tells us a lot about how the stuff we learn at school isn’t important in life.
Some of them yeah but it depends on your desires. For doctors science is a must, some needs maths. It depends. Either way school helps a lot in where i live but idk for American tho, i heard that they got pretty bad system.
some is important but yeah
@@juicypears5466 everyone complains about the system but nobody has any ideas on how to better it
@@JustAPokemonCommentingOnVideos I do

I'm conflicted :D some of these were so easy that I could answer them in my sleep and Mike still got them wrong, but from my EU standpoint, many of the USA specific questions were REALLY hard. I managed to guess a few though.
Honestly, it is weird they get president pictures in school and are tested about them. I don't think I ever had to say which queen was pictured, nor prime minister.
@@MissMoontree yeah, same here in Italy. In middle or high school you may get questions like "who was king/president when so-and-so happened?"
But no pictures. That would be weird
From my EU understanding The Presidents Of The United States Of America, is like a really big deal to them, could be wrong though.
I guess it's the same with the flag, it's like SUPER important to them, where as if I was to see a neighbour randomly burning my countries flag (Sweden), I'd be like "whatever".
