Don't be a statistic.
Don't do science.

Haha I love watching that too, but I hate that like 90% of the words aren't even English.

Now that's hardly fair to have a spelling bee in English yet have most of the words as foreign words that have morphemes and pronunciations that are different than English.

There are plenty of difficult English words, why resort to asking Hawaiian and French?

Why do people think that basic trig with right triangles is so hard? All it is is a little memorization of "SOHCAHTOA." from there on it's a matter of looking at the triangle.
