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.
