In November 2007, Pickler appeared on a Celebrity Edition of the quiz showAre You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?, playing for the charities of her choice (American Red Cross and the AARP's Grandparenting Program).[SUP][18][/SUP] Worth a guaranteed $25,000, she was asked, "Budapest is the capital of what European country?". She replied, "This might be a stupid question… I thought Europe was a country." She voiced that it might be a place where people spoke French, and then was repeatedly confused as to whether France really was a country or not. When told the answer was Hungary, she did not believe the host. She said, "Hungry? That's a country? I've heard of Turkey, but Hungry? I've never heard of it."[SUP][19][/SUP] Thanks to her using the "copy" cheat, and her classmate having the right answer, she was able to pass the $25,000 mark and went on to win $50,000 before walking away; had she answered incorrectly, she would have left with nothing at all. While on her first USO concert tour in Iraq, Pickler met a few people from Budapest, Hungary, who presented her with a flag of their country.[SUP][20][/SUP][SUP][21][/SUP]
