1st grader - contestant #3

#1 Helena is the capital of __________?? (Kenneth doesn't know, #2 gets it - Montana)

Unfortunately Kenneth definitly knows his states MUCH BETTER if you ask him "What is the capital of _________? Rather than the other way around! Bummer! He definitly knew that first one and kind of knew the 2nd.

#3 What is the Capital of Oklahoma? easy! #3 got it, Oklahoma City

#1 What is the Capital of New Jersey? Kinda knows this one, but a bit disconfident at this point, doesn't get it. #2 gets it!

#3 What is the Capital of Maine???? Misses it.... #1 Kenneth knows it, HE GOT IT!!! AUGUSTA!!!! Yipee!!

#2 What is the Capital of Florida?? Tallahassee

#3 Phoneix is the capital of??? Doesn't know, #1 Doesn't know, #2 gets it Arizona!

#2 hasn't missed any, so he's the clear Winner! Kenneth and #3, both have 1 right, 3 wrong!

Tie Breaker Round

#1 is up.........the tension is mounting

#1 What is the captial of Virgina? (Haven't even taught him this one!! BUMMER) They both miss it

#1 What is the captial of Tennessee? (Another 1 of the 10 that I hadn't taught him!! Another BUMMER!!) #3 Doesn't know it either!
