Did Case not finish high school?

Honest question here. I’ve been watching the new Smarter Than Fifth Grader videos and the amount of genuine confusion Case has at really basic subjects like pre algebra or earth sciences, even having to count on his fingers to multiply to 49, is baffling to me.

The dude is clearly intelligent. He has excellent pattern recognition, memory, patience, and strategic problem solving when he’s playing games like Granny, but when it comes to basic academic exercises he seems legitimately stumped more often than not. I can totally understand having a brain fart and forgetting how many Es are in Tennessee, but when he can’t wrap his head around “two sets of 21 apples” it’s a bit confusing to say the least?

I know a lot of people say it’s for the bit, but I can’t see him wanting to throw a game on the first level just for the content and not acknowledge it.
