Whoooa....oh wait. You used the back button? That's...cheating, you
know? You don't get to go back and correct answers on IQ tests once you
realise a mistake you made. :P

Here's an IQ test: Write a small Python script that tries every
combination of answers and finds the one that yields the highest score. ;-)

You realise that the reason it asks for your age is so that the older
you are, the lower your score is, right?
It's called "intelligence quotient" because it's meant to be the
*quotient* of your intelligence age verses your biological age. :-P

No?
IIRC the IQ test I took as a child was like, "oh, I'm not sure about
this yet, I'll do the others first, then go back to this one."
At any rate, they deliberately decided to include a "back" button, so if
you're /reall/ intelligent, you're gonna use it :-P

The basis of the bell curve and normal distribution are random samples. By
definition, if you pick samples to prove a point, it's not a random sample.

Does that mean when you are my age your score will be 60? ;-)

No. By then of course I will be significantly more stupid and/or dead.

Let's take salary/income as a basic sample:
Mediam might be as low as 1500€/month.
Mean might be about 5000€/month... thanks to the few who earns/stole/...
about 100k€ or more (like 20m€) per month.
So, according to which one you select, you can say that the
buying-capability is about 5000€/month, or only 1500€/month... not
really the same numbers!
