First, if you knew what you would do if you were twice as smart, you would already be that smart. Therefore you don't know. Second, you have never even met anyone with an IQ of 290. How do you know what they would do? How do you measure an IQ of 100n? - Ability to remember n times as much? - Ability to learn n times faster? - Ability to solve problems n times faster? - Ability to do the work of n people? - Ability to make n times as much money? - Ability to communicate with n people at once? Please give me an IQ test that measures something that can't be done by n log n people (allowing for some organizational overhead). -- Matt Mahoney, matmaho...@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=126863270-d7b0b0 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
