Re: Do you think your CC points score equals your intelligen

Indeed, one's IQ has little or nothing to do with one's appreciation of tactics combined with luck and or certain techniques adapted by certain individuals to obtain absurdly high ranks that don't suit them. For example, one would not say that General Montgomery or General Brock compared with Einstein, but these men were great at leading campaigns and defeating the enemy against impossible odds.

I would say that the most clever on CC are those who don't spend a great deal of time mindlessly blabbing in the forums. I would suggest that I'm one of them. ;)

Unfortunately, I answered the golf question incorrectly, not knowing exactly what the "Eagle" is. I thought the "Psycho" question made sense, indeed. Nor was I aware of the exact value of Platinum. I agree with the Gameshow verdict. Mythbusters proved both that most people tend to stick with their first choice and that it's more lucrative if you do not.

i think that anything non metric is retarded. It's so medieval to measure things in feet, miles, gallons, pounds ect. what is the weight of a cubic mile of water for example? everything is related with our metric system, and that type of question is easily answered with cubic kilometers and tons for example.that's why the whole reasonable world uses it. you anglo saxons don't even have the same yards or gallons in the US and UK, get it right ffs. Why use stuff that make sense only in your country?
And english people weighting themselves in stones?? give us a break!

So if Stephen Hawking joined the site and plays a game he would be less intelligent than that guy who calls you a cheater and misspells "idiot" in game chat? :-k

Here at CC, the median score is about 1250, which is Corporal 1st Class.
So this somewhat correlates with someone of average intelligence.
A typical Captain's score is 1850... which is roughly the 86th percentile of CC scores.

The 86th percentile of IQ scores is roughly 116.
I would wager to say that many a rocket scientist are roughly in that same percentile of intelligence.

So far so good...

The OP is a Major, with a current score of 2389... which puts him in the top 3 1/2% of CC scores.
Now an IQ at the 96.5th percentile would be roughly 129.

This is where it all goes wrong...
Pedronicous with an IQ of 129? Bollocks!
:P

Why did you just say the 84th percentile is rougly 115? o.0 As the average is 100, and standard deviation is 15, and the whole bell curve stuff!

3 guys are having drinks at their local bar, the bill makes 25 dollars, to make it easy,
each of them puts 10 dollars on the table, as they leave the waiter follows them and hands
each 1 dollar back and puts the leftover 2 dollars in his pocket as tip,
that means the guys payed each 9 dollar for their drinks,
now
3 times 9 makes 27 dollar, plus the 2 dollar tip for the waiter makes total of 29 dollars,
where did the last dollar go ???

To make things worse,

Two of the original guys go out for drinks again,
this time the bill is 20, so each of them pays 10 dollars,
the waiter realises he made a mistake, since the bill should have been 15,
to rectify this the waiter gives each guy 1 dollar back, so the guys have paid each 9 dollar,
9+9=18 , plus the 3 dollar tip the waiter kept = 21,

crazy world
have fun

The tip is being tallied twice (the 27 dollars in case 1 already included the tip, same for the 18 dollars in case 2).

A dollar doesn't mean much to me, so the picture below shows all the fucks I give ;)
