Ep 4. Emergency Operator

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader season 5 episode 4, titled "Emergency Operator," follows a group of adult contestants as they attempt to prove their smarts against a team of fifth-grade students. In each round, the contestants must answer questions on a variety of subjects, ranging from social studies to science.

In this episode, the special guest is an emergency operator, who poses a series of questions related to emergency response. The contestants must use their knowledge of geography, history, physics, and language arts to try and outsmart the fifth-graders.

As the questions get more difficult, tensions rise among the contestants. They work together to come up with the right answers, but each one is nervous about their own performance. The fifth-graders, meanwhile, seem to take the questions in stride, working together as a team to come up with the right answers.

One contestant, a school teacher, is particularly determined to win. She has been studying hard in preparation for the show, and feels like she has something to prove. But as the game wears on, she begins to feel the pressure mounting.

Another contestant, a stay-at-home mom, struggles with a question about the human circulatory system. She thinks back to her own days in fifth grade, trying to remember what she was taught, but the answer eludes her.

Throughout the game, the emergency operator offers insight into the importance of emergency response, and how knowing the right information can potentially save lives. The contestants listen carefully, hoping to absorb as much knowledge as possible.

In the end, each contestant must face a final challenge, where they will have to answer questions without any help from their fifth-grade teammates. The tension is palpable as they try to make their way through a series of tough questions.

As the game comes to a close, the contestants reflect on what they have learned. They have been humbled by the impressive knowledge of the fifth-graders, and are grateful for the opportunity to test their own abilities. Above all, they have a newfound appreciation for the importance of emergency response, and the brave men and women who make it their life's work.
