Did anyone else see the new game show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" tonight? One of the questions was in the category of 3rd grade reading. I didn't see the whole show, and came in on this question. But I think it said: "True or false? Fiction books are NOT assigned numbers in the Dewey Decimal System". The woman contestant and all of the 5th graders answered false, and they were told this was correct. Am I crazy? Did I see it wrong? I think everyone got tripped up by semantics -- it was confusingly worded. But if I saw it correctly, this is perpetuating incorrect information to however many millions of folks watched the show.
