    There is some clip from this where he’s like “Hippo, lion, tiger. Crocket couldnt do that. It gets very hard at 10.”

    Bruh he’s literally being asked to list just any fucking animal he can. Like… this is a test for 3yos.

      You had the spirit of the quote:

      “The first couple questions are easy: a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those questions.”

      His naming the big animals that we first learned of as toddlers, same as you attributed to him!

      Tried this myself. Went about 2 minutes till I got bored.

        It would be literally the most hilarious in the history of US politics if it wasn’t such a horrible reality we’re in.

        If you wrote something this absurd into a book, your editor would make you rewrite it.

      It’s actually a test for dementia patients, to gauge how severe their disease is. That he’s being asked to take it at all is… not good.

      Though I’m not really sure if I would prefer him lucid or impaired. It’s not like he was a good person when he was in full command of his faculties.
