Aliyah’s Interlude is definitely Ivy League material after slaying every subject in this episode of “Schooled.” From being convinced Halle Berry won an Oscar for ‘Catwoman’ (she did win an Oscar, but *that* particular role won... other awards) to instantly nailing who the Queen of Soul is, the rapper and influencer always knows how to stan a diva. Watch Aliyah flex her genius as she names the Pythagorean theorem (it’s the only one she knows, but still) and fights for justice for Pluto after its excommunication as a planet. Need a tutor? Aliyah’s Interlude is that girl.

00:40Judiciary is one.
00:42Legis...
00:44Oh my God, I don't know how to spell this.
00:46I'm so sorry.
00:47I'm sorry, America.
00:48Judiciary, legislative, and elects...
00:53I don't know it.
00:54I'm not gonna lie.
00:55I'm gonna just say electoral branch.
00:56I know that's not true.
00:59I knew it!
01:01Which ancient civilization is known for contributions
01:04to philosophy and the Olympic Games?
01:07Ooh, y'all making this too easy.
01:09It's the Greeks.
01:10Because I know Nike is a Greek god,
01:12and that gots to do with sports and stuff.
01:14Okay, we doing it, period.
01:16Who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize
01:19and the only woman to win it in two different sciences?
01:23On some real, whoever this diva is, I stan,
01:27but she was really putting it to work.
01:30I don't know who that is, but I love her,
01:32and she ain't that.
01:33I'm gonna say Malala.
01:33I don't know what that's wrong, though.
01:35But she's a queen, so let me give her her 10s real quick.
01:38Marie Curie.
01:40Oh, period.
01:42I love that for her.
01:43Who was the first black actor to win an Oscar?
01:46Y'all, it's Halle Berry, the baddest.
01:47Catwoman, I think she won it for Catwoman, too.
01:50I'm pretty sure.
01:52I don't know, but yeah, I know that's the right answer.
01:55Oh!
01:57So, I actually didn't say any of that,
01:59and let me say Cicely Tyson,
02:01because I know she's a OG.
02:03Hattie McDaniel.
02:04No way.
02:05Okay, Hattie, I love that for you.
02:08Yeah, history wasn't my best subject, as you can tell,
02:11but yeah.
02:12Y'all, it's time for math.
02:14I love this.
02:16Okay, y'all, math time.
02:19Is a square a rectangle?
02:21I would say no.
02:22I think a square is a square,
02:23and a rectangle is a rectangle, period.
02:26A square is a rectangle.
02:27Oh, okay.
02:29But a rectangle is not a square.
02:31This is what I be talking about, y'all.
02:33Like, who made that?
02:35How many sides does a hexagon have?
02:38I believe it's six, period.
02:40If you have a NYC apartment that's 12 foot by 10 foot
02:45with no closets,
02:47what's the square footage of your apartment,
02:49and where will you keep your shoes?
02:51Fun fact, I actually did not go to third grade.
02:54I skipped third grade.
02:55So if I get this wrong, that is a valid excuse.
02:5912 times 10, though, I think,
03:01is how you would come about this.
03:04I think it would be 120 square footage.
03:07Is that even legal?
03:08That's insane.
03:10And where will you keep your shoes?
03:11You gonna have to keep them in the oven, girl.
03:13No shade.
03:14You don't have space for anything.
03:15Like, if that's correct.
03:17Hey, I know that's right.
03:20Okay.
03:21If you pull $1,000 from the ATM in $20 bills,
03:25how many bills will you get?
03:26I feel like cash is so retro.
03:28I'm an Apple Pay girl, y'all.
03:30I don't use cash.
03:31I'm so sorry.
03:33I would never pull $1,000 from the ATM
03:35because I use a card.
03:37That's such a Gen Z answer, but yeah.
03:39Okay, y'all, let me teach y'all a simple step.
03:42To do this, you're gonna have to use long division.
03:44500, zero.
03:48You would have 50 bills.
03:50Period.
03:51See, I said I was bad at math,
03:53but I'm low-key really good at math, y'all.
03:55No shade.
03:56What is the name of this theorem?
03:58A squared plus B squared equals C squared.
04:01That's Pythagorean's theorem.
04:02And I know that because that's low-key
04:05the only theorem I know.
04:06Yay.
04:09Okay, I ate that.
04:12Y'all need a tutor, let me know.
04:14Science.
04:16I actually wanted to be a scientist when I was growing up
04:18because I wanted to live in Antarctica so bad.
04:20That's still a thing that could happen.
04:22How many planets are in our solar system?
04:25This answer is six, but it used to be seven.
04:29But girl, they excommunicated Pluto when I was younger.
04:33It was insane.
04:34Justice for Pluto, because that was messed up.
04:37But yeah, six.
04:38No, you're not serious.
04:42Am I actually wrong?
04:43What?
04:44Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
04:49Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
04:52Okay.
04:53But what does Google know, right?
04:57What is the boiling point of water at sea level
05:00in degrees in Celsius?
05:03I know boiling point is 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
05:08but I don't know what that is in Celsius.
05:10Well, in America we don't use Celsius as much as Fahrenheit,
05:15but I love the energy drink for sure.
05:16But I don't know that at all.
05:19No shade.
05:20You were correct at 100 degrees.
05:22Okay.
05:23But that's not right because it's in Celsius.
05:24Okay.
05:26My bad.
05:27Oh my God.
05:28I know I got this next one right,
05:29so I'm not even tripping about the last one.
05:31What natural phenomenon causes earthquakes?
05:34A, tectonic plates,
05:36B, climate change,
05:38C, drought,
05:40D, gravity.
05:42A, tectonic plates.
05:44I know that's right.
05:45Period.
05:46What is the basic unit of life?
05:49I feel like a proton.
05:51Is that a crazy answer?
05:53I low-key don't even know what a proton is,
05:55but I remember learning that that was a basic unit of life.
06:00Cell.
06:03Okay.
06:04So science was not my strong subject, obviously.
06:07And it's crazy because I took AP Bio,
06:09but I failed the exam for sure.
06:10So that explains a lot.
06:13Name three chemical elements.
06:15That's, that's light work.
06:17I would say hydrogen.
06:19You know, she's a chemical.
06:21Oxygen.
06:23Let me think of the periodic table.
06:26God.
06:27How do I not know any elements?
06:28This is so insane.
06:30I'm gonna say iron,
06:31because I feel like that's on a periodic table.
06:33Ay!
06:35Period.
06:36See, this is why you should never doubt yourself, y'all.
06:38Science wasn't my best subject,
06:40but I'm gonna move along
06:43and pretend that didn't happen.
06:44Elective.
06:45Oh, y'all are fancy here.
06:49Music.
06:50How many strings does a standard violin have?
06:53I know a violin has four strings,
06:55because I played violin for like six years.
06:58Period.
06:59What is a term for speed in music?
07:01I know it's tempo.
07:04Right.
07:06What instrument did Mozart call the king of instruments?
07:10I wanna say violin,
07:11but she's too petite to be a king.
07:13She's a girl.
07:15I would say a bass.
07:16Like a bass, a string bass.
07:19It's an organ.
07:20A organ?
07:22Okay, I could see that.
07:23I guess he can be the king,
07:25but it didn't really give that for me.
07:27Which American singer is referred to as the queen of soul?
07:31Why do I wanna say Aretha Franklin?
07:33Is that tea?
07:34Because I feel like she's a soul queen.
07:36Or we could say Diana Ross.
07:38Is that insane?
07:40Soul, soul, soul.
07:42I'm gonna say Aretha,
07:43because that's my queen.
07:45And she sang one of my favorite songs,
07:46so period.

07:58She performed at the Super Bowl halftime in 2013.
08:03Ay!
08:05That was good.
08:07I feel like the Mozart one was kind of just like a ball
08:10they threw in there to mess me up.
08:13Oh yeah, I'd definitely pass.
08:14We're going to the next grade, y'all.
