The general knowledge test scores of the candidates for the Miss France 2025 competition show a very average level. But one of the candidates showed particular intellectual abilities…
On Saturday December 14, 2024, the French will discover at Futuroscope who will succeed Eve Gilles and will wear the crown of Miss France next year. While waiting for the big evening, the 30 contenders for the title flew to the Ivory Coast in November, to make their traditional preparation trip. And the dreaded general knowledge test, taken on site, revealed a mixed verdict.
The candidates were still expected this year on their knowledge and their intellectual level to stand out in the game. And the Miss France 2025 promotion, under the watchful eye of Cindy Fabre, the new director of the competition, did not seem to He didn’t do much better than last year. At the end of 2023, the Miss France Committee communicated a very… average general average, since this amounted to around 30 correct answers out of 60 questions asked. This time, no average provided by the organizers (because too low?), but simply a podium of the three best regional misses.
It is therefore Marina Przadka, elected Miss Picardie last October, who takes the first step. The 24-year-old young woman, business development manager, achieved an average of 15.5/20 this year. Not enough for a “Very good” rating since it is given from 16/20 if we refer to the criteria of National Education, but still impressive. She is followed by Miss Guadeloupe, Moïra André, who takes second place with a score of 13.5/20 and the Réunionnaise Romane Agostinho with 12.5/20.
The smartest girl according to logic tests
Looking at this podium, we guess that the other mentions (from 12/20 for “Fairly good” and 14/20 for “Good” in the case of the baccalaureate) must be rare and that the level has not really needed to improve. But Marina Przadka can be proud of her performance, even if we will have to wait until this Saturday evening to find out if it will bring her luck. Among the young woman’s feats, there is even one particularity: she performed flawlessly on the logic tests! She is “the only one to have gotten 10 out of 10” in this specific part of the test, indicated Cindy Fabre.
While part of the quiz was based on knowledge (current affairs, history-geography, arts and culture, sport or even French and dictation), the ten logic questions called on alertness and deductive and mental arithmetic, like an IQ test. Among them, “If Emilie’s daughter is the mother of my daughter, who am I to Emilie?”, or “Today is Friday. What day will it be in 3 days from yesterday? ” You also had to find the result of some operations (458 ÷ 4 or 0.25 (which reminded us of things).
Achieving flawless performance is possible, but overall difficult. For those who would like to laugh, know that the readers of Figaro TV, who were more than 60,000 who tried to answer the questions of the general knowledge test of Miss France 2025 on the magazine websiteonly obtained an average score of 12.2 out of 20. “Only 35% correctly answered the question of the logical sequence of the dominoes. And only 31% to the puzzle” on “Emilie’s daughter “, says the newspaper (the correct answer was obviously “his daughter”).
