00:00Are you smarter than a smart girl? That's the game Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon played

00:10on Tuesday's The Tonight Show. The segment paid tribute to Poehler's Smart Girls organization,

00:16which encourages young girls to be themselves. The game involved Fallon and the actress each

00:21partnering up with a bright young lady to answer questions about math, science, geography and

00:26grammar. Before the game began, Fallon's partner Maya showed off her French rap skills,

00:31rapping a song from the musical Hamilton. And Poehler's partner Anaya, a young author,

00:36displayed her talent for making purses out of duct tape. For the first round, Poehler chose the

00:41math category. She was asked,

00:43If you have nine pizzas and then cut each pizza into eight slices, how many slices do you have?

00:48So that's a multiplication problem? So 72, right? But Poehler confidently said 73 before

00:55immediately doubting her answer. Luckily, Anaya was there to help her out.

00:59That's what I meant! I meant 73 after I buy an extra slice!

01:05Fallon also struggled with his first question, where he had to name the preposition in a sentence.

01:10Maya tried to shake her head to help him guess the correct answer. And while he eventually chose it,

01:15it took a lot of stalling on his part. The back and forth continued with lots of assistance from Anaya

01:20and Maya until the final question came about the number of bones in the human body.

01:25The game ultimately proved that neither contestant was smarter than a smart girl.
