>> One of the questions was in the category of 3rd grade reading.  I didn't

>>
>> "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.
