Are Harvard students really as smart as people think?? Today we find out! Jesse: @JesseJamesWest Kennedy: @KennedyWalsh #jessejameswest #kennedywalsh #harvard
Producer said "there are 4hemispheres" Harvard student said "hemi means two" and Jesse didnt even know what he was answering he just said "four" what a great video.. btw Hemi means HALF lol
I paused the video just to scroll down and upvote every comment that understands the concept of "HEMI = Half" and "SPHERE = (well...Sphere)". I.E. Earth can only be cut into TWO half spheres. +1 for you.😁
I don't even get where the heck they got that number 4 from... it says 2 if you just google it but more importantly: you just know what hemisphere means from idk... literally talking to people about the world!?...
@@kamanyekuakauari8636 well they are popular actors on RU-vid but I never seen this guys in RU-vid because I like technological and quiz type of vedeos
This video just goes to show that even if you go to Harvard, Americans couldn’t correctly answer geography questions if their lives depended on it. edit: was a joke be quiet
well if you were to say, they play outside, i understand why outside becomes a part of an adverb since it describes an action of place ; "where". just like "the dog was still barking outside" the dog, subject was/barking verb, and outside which apparently is an adverb of place, which describes the barking action. but referring to the person as they said above, we went to Baltimore to play with rats on the outside. on the outside is still a noun but with additional prepositional phrase wouldnt it? or perhaps, was he stating a general characteristic on its formation and its behaviour when applied to different contexts?
@@batuayde2074 YES OMG THAT WAS SO EASY AND THEY COULDN’T FIGURE IT OUT, I WAS LITERALLY SPEECHLESS, its ok for the dropouts but, if she did the first equation that fast, she is for sure studying something related to math and doing that without know the basis of physics is not the best
Being a 2 year old from Antarctica, I'm surprised by how easy these questions were. I guess my penguin teachers are just too op, can't wait to get into Harvard.
I can't believe that the Harvard students won. It's almost like they're smarter than social media influencers. Edit: to everyone hating because I spoiled it, realize that it was your idea to check the comments before reaching the end.
@@h3llboyyy407 when you are good at Math you tend to be good at other science subject# as well since they use the same brain mechanism ( calculating, imagination and logical thinking)
English is my third language... and I remember being around 10 years old and treated like I was dumb because I didn't know "are" was part of the "be" verb. I've never forgotten about it ever since.
I'm curious how accurate it is, because for me, a European, most of these questions (especially higher grades) were rather fun facts than actual knowledge required from us during our education 🤔
@@vivalus I mean I also didn’t >know< some of them, because it wasn’t required, moreover, it wasn’t present in the textbooks. Even if, it was marked as an additional knowledge (thing that you don’t need to remember)
Here's how to figure out the gravity question: - Bilbo is 2m tall - So if the TOP of his head reached 3m when he jumped on Planet A, that means, he jumped 1m high. - The gravity of Planet A is 10 m/s². - The gravity of Planet B is 2 m/s²...5 times LESS gravity. - So Bilbo can jump 5 times higher. - Instead of 1m, he can jump 5m in the air. - He is 2m tall, so the top of his head is 7m in the air. - Question answered :)
Also (umm just in case you were curious!!!) why is gravity is measured in units of "meters per second-squared?" (Like it said, Planet A has a gravity of 10 m/s².) Because, gravity is measured in terms of how fast a falling object *accelerates.* For example, Earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², meaning that for every second an object is falling, its speed increases by 9.8 meters per second. Now, if you just thought to yourself, "What do you mean 'for every second...per second'?" I agree, it's confusing wording. But it is to get across the point that it isn't just 9.8 meters fallen at second 1, 19.6 at second 2, 29.4 at second 3. Instead, it is 9.8 meters fallen at second 1, 9.8 + (9.8 + 9.8) = 29.4 at second 2, 29.4 + (9.8 + 9.8 + 9.8) = 58.8 at second 3. Got it? For every second, its speed increases by 9.8 meters PER SECOND. The speed is exponential, not just falling 9.8 m/s. :) If that doesn't explain why the units of measurement are m/s², you can also think of it this way: Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Change in Time. So, since velocity's unit of measurement is m/s (meters per second, aka speed basically), then acceleration is (m/s) / s. AKA, m/s². None of what I just said is actually important to answering the question technically...Only to understand the concepts :)
Not necessarily easy math- advanced students often take honors or AP classes in high school that is markedly harder than common core math for their grade level, for example. As the fight for getting into a good uni continues though, more and more students are getting into AP classes and, as a whole, taking a more challenging curriculum.
@@adr77510 you're right. Greece is really fa behind regarding issues like this. the government only wants students to focus on subjects like this and don't really show interest in what we are actually good at or what we like and prefer. recently they took music, art and theater away from high schools cause they are considered "not important" since "being an artist is not a real job". really sucks :/
A few things are wrong at 5:28, are is actually a verb and they should’ve had the point for that, but both teams were wrong on eating. It’s a participle, hence it is an adjective, even if it’s a verb participle I believe.
For the people saying the US education system is easy, it’s only easy if you pick the easy classes (or if your school doesn’t offer the classes). Also, colleges focus on a lot more than just academics. Sports, extracurriculars, community service hours, awards, and leadership roles play a bigger role i would say in the college admission process
@@Cherub-luv432 Yes but school is way to easy in Usa.I'm from Romania and I'm in 9th grade and im helping my friend from Usa at math and he is in 12th grade ..
have attacked is also the present perfect tense of " to attack" , not 2 separate verbs and they listed outside as a noun when it was an adverb ive had english as a 2nd language in a european country, they teach u this stuff in school
@@laylammorais sometimes, it really gets me all flabbergasted whenever a native gets their own language "wrong" (be it spelling or grammar). no offense intended, btw. it's just in foreign schools, these are all taught and there are a bunch of rules to follow. so in my head I was thinking, "how come people who speak english as their native language gets it wrong? who made all these rules?"... and then came to the conclusion that them speaking it as their native language is the very reason why they don't need to necessarily learn it anymore.
YES THANKYOU! Its a sub colour of violet and is nearly idistinguishable from violet to the human eye. It's like saying aqua should be in ROYGBV. I heard that it was potentially added due to there being 6 colours and adding indigo made it 7, a more holy number.
Being a college drop out doesn't mean you're less intelligent or knowledgeable. My husband never finished college purely because he's not a school person. 10/10 he's the smartest person in the room. In high school he would sleep through class and never do homework. He would show up on test day, not even realize it was test day, and score 100%. His intelligence drives me absolutely nuts because he doesn't even have to try, yet he almost flunked high school from purely putting in zero effort. His brain is absolutely fascinating. He loves to research different aspects of topics, has a photographic memory, and 152 IQ.
yeah but this vid is a test of knowledge not intelligence- intelligence would be things like pattern recognition and it's stuff ur born w and just how ur brain is
@@netocka4391 yup it was a combo of questions which tested intelligence, as well as knowledge. Like the math ones were logical and practical, whereas the geographical were knowledge based
1:18 actually light and paint have different primary colors. Light is red, green, and blue while paint is red, yellow, and blue. So the answer is actually 4.
I didn't know that. (I might have heard it once and ignored it). Looking it up, I see that the RBY model is still predominantly used for most applications. Apparently the light model (RGB) model came about AFTER science became more of a common "thing". Thanks for pointing that out. I think in school, colors were always taught in the context of art, with the RYB palette. And I never took advanced science outside computer science, where the science based light color palette would have (presumably) come up.
Can this be a series? Jesse and Kennedy are so funny together Edit: I just meant they’d be a funny comedy duo & not shipping. Thanks for the 20k likes guys!
Hey Bro! Just to correct something , Oxygen is highly flammable but it is the Nitrogen in the air that makes it less reactive or flammable. But yeah Great Content !!
Joanna was right in saying Antarctic Ocean because the Southern Ocean is also known as the Antarctic Ocean, that's how we learnt it in school in South Africa. Loved the video by the way :)
5:47 at this point of view the right answer should be given to Harvard team because Joanna raised the issue of authenticity of that question, and you just gave 5 points to Kennedy and Jessie by random rock-paper-scissors...
3:30 earth is divided in 2 hemispheres. I'm guessing the answer of 4 comes from north/south, west/east. But these are 2 different divisions and the earth is divided in 2 in both of them. "hemisphere" literally comes from "hemi = half" "sphaira = sphere" The harvard guy was right.
So was the Harvard girl about Indonesia. They even asked a following question about the 5 largest country, mentioned Indonesia and not Japan...and yet whoever prepped these questions didnt get it 🤦🏻♀️
to solve the gravity problem: Bilbo(2m) + (jump force(x)/gravity force(10m)) = Jump height(3m) This gives Bilbo a jump force of 10m. If we plug in the jump force to the new level of gravity we then get: 2 + (10/2) = 7
In a vacuum I would have said it wasn't a verb, but in this context I knew it had to be a verb. "Eggs are my obsession" is a complete sentence by itself and I know that every complete sentence MUST have a verb. Glad we were proven right!
@@creepincreepy261 I thought that at first but apparently they were actually right about “we” not being a noun. Pronouns don’t count as nouns even though the word noun is in “pronouns”. Nouns are either common nouns (non specific things) or proper nouns (specific things). The name Sarah is a proper noun, the word friends is a common noun, and they can both be replaced by the pronoun “we” like this: _My name is Jimmy. I went to school with my sisters Sarah, Debra, and my friends. We all went on a school trip._ The “we” replaced multiple nouns but isn’t a noun itself.
When Kevin said New Zealand I just lost it. I'm from New Zealand and I never thought I would ever hear anyone say that New Zealand is large or high populated. We have a population of only 5 million! that's less than 1/13th the population of the UK and the UK is smaller than New Zealand! I am dying🤣🤣
I think rather than using a buzzer which partially makes the results based on who has a better reaction time, it would have been better if they wrote down their answers and showed them later and just had the points tallied up at the end to see who got the most points, so they can see how many each team got right overall.
5:52 eating is not a verb. It is a verbal, verbals include present participle, gerund, and infinitive. Verbs that are changed in to verbals are not considered to be verbs anymore. Verbals are action words but not verbs
6:54 The Harvard team definitely should have gotten this point. "Outside" was used as an adverb in that sentence, not as a noun, plus the dropout team said "Moods clothing," a phrase which includes both a noun and an adjective. /lighthearted, I just love grammar lol
6:54 Joana was right Outside isnt a noun, its an adverbial noun (noun that functions as an adverb, making outside an adverb) Also Moods should be an adjective modifying clothing. Moods clothing is def not a compound noun because you would find it in the dictionary.
Smartness doesn't consist only of academics. It is also about being witty, money-wise and having social intelligence among other things. A competition of testing smartness should have a way to test these skills as well.
@@desheal3654 I had never heard of the ocean at all, but seeing as the term didn't exist before 2000, I guess my education just hadn't had time to adapt to that change yet. I'm still in a state of denial that it's a thing.
1. The answer to the hemispheres question should have been 2. Yes, you could argue there *exists* 4 hemispheres, but you cannot *divide* the earth into 4 hemispheres. Once you choose a direction(north-south or east-west), that's it, you can't have both at the same time. There is no way you can get 4 half-spheres out of a single sphere(Banach-Tarski paradox notwithstanding) 2. The longitude question has several issues. First, unlike the equator the prime meridian does not go all the way around the earth, therefore it does not fully cut the earth in half. On the other side of the prime meridian you have 180 degrees longitude also known as the international date line. If we pretend that a half-cut is as good as a full-cut then we have an even bigger problem. The equator is special in that it is the only line of latitude that lies on a great-circle and thus divides the earth into equal haves. There is nothing special about the prime meridian it's just an arbitrary point we chose, every single line of longitude lies on a great circle so the answer in this case would be every line of longitude.
If there are 4 hemispheres possible there are infinite of hemispheres possible, you can divide the Earth in two wherever you want lol, this question was so stupid
@@diogoferreira7427 its an island nation tho right? bc its an archipelago? anyway indonesia should be right assuming archapelago counts because its like double japans pop. so many questions had the wrong answers for this it makes me like actually pissed
So many wrong answers by the host in this. "Have" is a verb. "Moods" in "Moods clothing" is an adjective not a noun. "Hominids" are a taxonomic classification which include humans and the Great Apes, so the question asked (Whether hominids evolved into humans one million years ago.) makes no sense. Technically the answer is yes, since members of the Family Hominidae have existed for 17 million years.
you're right abt a hemisphere being the half of a sphere but the equator isn't the only line that divides the earth into two halves the prime meridian does the same so in that way we do get 4 but then again the question was a little ambiguous....
You are wrong on both statements. An adverb doesn't say where an action is done but how it is done(ex: quickly, hastily, etc.). It is in fact a noun, but a proposition similar to a preposition
With the hemisphere question it’s four because we have the 2 that everyone knows an]bout which are the southern and northern hemisphere but I’m so pretty sure the 2 Tropics (Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn) are included
Personally, I feel like you can’t really compare both of these students, because one decided to go to the next level of learning to learn everything that possibly could be learned, and the other one decided to take a step back from worldly learning, and went more to RU-vid learning, I guess you can call it so if the questions were a mixture between digital creator and worldly questions I think they both would come and close because you didn’t really give a fair advantage especially with the drop outs.
There are FOUR units of temperature. Technically five but the fifth one isn’t used. The fourth one is Rankine and it’s commonly used in SAE in place of Kelvin.
@@Tom_HopeCore i didnt say he was dumb but his answer sort of was (do americans not have geography class im genuinely confused) and obviously it doesnt mean he's not intelligent, intelligence is way more that the questions in the video, this was just a lighthearted comment
One more for the road, Kennedy should get out of her comfort zone for the channel and go into the public areas, ask to draw other people in their natural state or natural surroundings. Probably interesting enough if she was willing.
@@udontevenwannaknowbruv I've found the opposite to be true. The anxiety in people only grew if they got their so called safe spaces and took themselves out of life. They got more and more sensitive and less self confident. Which absolutely makes sense, since we all grow on challenges and rather not on everything going our way. Talking in general here and not for a certain individual.
AYOOOOO I met Kevin once during a student government thing and from our few interactions he seemed like one of the sweetest and most genuine people ever!!! And we stan west African kings😤
im a high school dropout but i swear one thing i remember is that there are technically only 2 hemispheres, they can just be divided into either north and south, or east and west. idk y tho
