I did a search and I couldn't find a thread devoted to Figure it Out...

I know some of you remember this show. It was hosted by Summer Sanders, and featured a panel of Nickeoldeon stars whose job it was to guess the special talents/accomplishments of kids. The panel asked the kid yes or no questions, and had to guess their talent in three rounds.

Some of the most memorable kids:
Boy with the world's longest rat tail.
Girl who attached earrings and magnets to her braces.
Boy who held the world record for fastest watermelon eating.
Girl with the most middle names (29).
Girl who could get her dog to drink milk out of her mouth. (???)

Remember the Billy the Board? The "Secret Slime" action? Discuss.

What I remember is the kid who hung a lizard from his tongue. Mostly I wondered how in the hell you'd realize that you could do that.

I remember some kid's "talent" was milking a goat or a cow or something with his toes. Yes, toes.

I think the possible scenarios for how these kids FOUND OUT these "secret talents" (bwuahahhaha) are more hilarious than the actual talents.

The one I remember most is the kid who made a "bowl" with his chest and his brother then ate cereal and milk out of it. Awkward to say the least.

The funniest one was the kid who could belch (very loudly and LONG) on command. Just give him a second to build up and *BUUUUUUURRRRRRP* with his mouth wide open. It was gross, awe-inducing, and hilarious at the same time.

I didn't like Summer Sanders so much. The most annoying thing about her was when one of the "guest star" panelists tried solving the puzzle, she would always say, "No, but VERY CLOSE." The kid with the secret talent/accomplishment would glare at her because, dammit, he/she wants to win the grand prize!!

But yeah, I loved watching this show after school at 4:30pm.

I remember one where there were still two words that the panel hadn't gotten, so it was something like "She is a champion ______ ______". So for her very last turn, Lori Beth Denberg randomly guessed "trout thrower", and it was right! I think Lori Beth must have felt very bad, because the girl was certain she had already won. Or else the game was rigged...

Bumping this thread up from over a year ago to say that either Lori Beth was being fed notes by the producers or was psychic, because she made another completely random, correct guess on a rerun I caught at 5 am not long ago.

Invented Hands-Free _____ Belt.

Correct answer: Gerbil.

How would you pull that out of thin air?!

See, both of those sound like the kind of things that the panel would normally throw out in order to let the kid get the grand prize - who honestly thinks that there's a world champion trout thrower you know? And I definitely remember some very, very odd, obviously-meant-t-be-wrong guesses from when I was watching. How awful do you have to feel when you accidentally get it right. trying to throw the game?

I remember a little boy who had the talent of "biting cheese into the shape of states." I think he was also on Letterman.

How accurate was his Hawai'i?

I always wanted Danny to get slimed, because I loved how he would snap his head back and slime-splash the people in the audience behind him.

Everyone started copied Danny afterwards though and everyone sucked!

The second cast just wasn't as good as the original people. Like I know it was always rotating, but danny and lori beth were always there, and then the last half of the shows running just had some random ass people.

I remember one kid could play a recorder with hsi nose and got seriously pissed when the panel guessed it. I wasn't impressed because at the time I was also perfecting that talent :D

Biiiiiiiiiiig bump!

I loved this show! I remember I tried to get on with this collection of kids magazines I had, something like over 100 issues or something. L-l-l-lame in retrospect. Ah well.

I remember watching a commercial advertising for kids to sign up for the show, and one of the questions was, "Can you bite cheese into the shape of a state?" And....lo and behold, they have a kid who bites cheese into the shape of states. I was SO ANGRY that I didn't think to be unoriginal and just submit a pic of me eating cheese.

Usually the talent wouldn't get solved until the third round, so I felt bad for this one girl who had like the world's longest name or something (and I actually remember seeing her in the Guinness book) whose puzzle got solved in either the first or second round.

This show is the only reason I know who Summer Sanders is.

I loved this show and I'm glad that there's a thread for it.

I remember their being a little board too. I think it was for extra words or something?

But yeah, I also remember two talents (i have some bad memory)

the one girl who helped her mom give birth to her new sibling (not sure if it was twins)

or that one boy who did that trick with the alligator/crocodile where he would sit on its neck and he pushed his hands right between its eyes and the eyes did this weird thing. I remember this one becuase I saw it on Jackass like yesterday.

I also loved how All That did a spoof of it and how that one girl who was playing Summer Sanders (but a different name, like Winter soemthing) kept touching the contestant alot and rubbing their arms. I thought it was funny how they were making fun of how Summer was very touchy-feely to the contestants

I loved this show! The one that stuck out to me the most was the girl with the ultra-long name.
