I was thinking that grade 3 geography in the U.S. might be more likely to concentrate on U.S. geography than European geography.

As I understand it the questions for the show are legitimately taken from grade-appropriate curricula in US public schools. Not to say every school district in the country covers all the same material.
And the kids who participate on the show are genuine 5th graders, and the kid got the right answer immediately.
Of course, even if the questions came from a curriculum that every school kid learns today, there's no reason to assume the material was covered when the CONTESTANT was in grade school.
