Egghead Ed is a scam that appeared in "Too Smart for His Own Ed". In the scam, Eddy offered up Ed (fresh off his spelling bee win), who would help the Kids with their homework for only twenty-five cents per question. All the kids bought it, much to Edd's chagrin, knowing that he could've actually helped them.
Eventually, the scam failed, as the kids got back their graded papers and found that they had all received Fs (in Nazz 's case, an F-), which it was revealed that Ed was just plain stupid. After beating up Eddy and Ed, they gladly took their money back from Eddy and leave. Eddy chased after the kids in a vain attempt to retrieve some of the money while Ed and Edd reconciled with each other and went off to Ed's house for some cookies with mayonnaise.
Questions
The following are the questions the kids were asked, complete with Ed's incorrect answers.
| Kid | Question | Ed's answer |
|---|---|---|
| Rolf | (17 x 4 ÷ 3) ÷ 4 | A drawing of a boot. |
| Kevin | Which planet goes round the Earth? | Polly wolly doodle all the day |
| Nazz | Write a sentence using both nouns and pronouns. | Go Cobblers Go |
| Sarah | What does happy mean? | A drawing of a snake. |
| Jimmy | Popeye the Sailer |
Trivia
- The real answer to Rolf's question would be 5.66666666667.
- Kevin's answer to his homework question was a lyric from the American children's song "Polly Wolly Doodle".
- The question itself: "Which planet goes round the Earth?", is also scientifically inaccurate, as the moon (the correct answer) is not a planet, but a natural satellite.
- Jimmy's answer to his homework question was "Popeye the Sailer", a misspelled version of the famous comic strip/cartoon character, "Popeye the Sailor."
