Blocky has found the test answers

The third episode of the Battle for Dream Island series. Spongy gets eliminated, and the featured challenge is a 20-question test. The Squishy Cherries lose for a second time in a row, due to Blocky and Pen's cheating disqualifying them from the final results.

Tropes include:

  • Cheaters Never Prosper: Blocky and Pen find the test answers and use them to cheat, causing them to automatically fail the test.
  • Does Not Like Spam: Pin and Match are shown to hate key lime pie.
  • Fully Automatic Clip Show: When Announcer asks Pin if she wants to use her Win Token, Pin replies that she can't think of anything mean she did that would make people want to vote her off. Cue montage of clips from the first two episodes showing the mean things Pin has done.
  • Groin Attack: Rocky does this to Tennis Ball when TB tells him that he should learn how to write despite being armless.
  • Handy Feet: Golf Ball and Tennis Ball are able to hold pencils with their feet.
  • Impact Silhouette: Woody makes one in the ground after Pin kicks him.
  • Irony: At first, the Squishy Cherries end up with 20 more points than the Squashy Grapes, but when Announcer discovers that Blocky and Pen cheated, they both lose all their points, resulting in the Squashy Grapes now having 20 more points than the Squishy Cherries.
  • Kill It with Fire: Blocky repeatedly throws Ice Cube into a fire in an attempt to douse it, killing her many times over.
  • Only One Who Likes Spam: Eraser is the only one who likes key lime pie.
  • Out of Focus: Teardrop doesn't appear at all in this episode, although she is mentioned to be one of the 6 who submitted a test.
  • Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title is an obvious parody of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?.
  • Potty Emergency: Tennis Ball has one in The Stinger, where he, Eraser, Coiny and Woody are still trapped in a hole.
  • Snarking Thanks:
    Pencil: Thanks an octodecillion, Match! Now our stupid tests are stupidly on stupid fire!
