Oops I broke the laws of math.

lmfao

well either way it's stupid

being smart should be looked up on, not down on

[squisoucil]

sorry, i am not good at math

Of course that makes no sense, but do something like that to get the solution.

Do not want?

I'd be more impressed with stargroup's claims of intelligence if his OP wasn't just copy/pasted from wikipedia.

pwnt.

in response to the whole "not a lot of intelligent people are on FFR" thing: not everyone speaks up all the time. there are most likely more intelligent people on the forums than you think.

Unfortunately untrue, lol.

[dore]

lol wow you're arrogant

[MrRubix]

But correct

[dore]

ok sure

[MrRubix]

Alright, prove me wrong


Good luck

[dore]

because I could definitely get smart people to magically appear in this particular thread that they don't care about (otherwise they would be in here discussing)

also intelligence = how many higher level math classes you've taken, and there's no way you can be smart and still in middle/high school with no opportunities to take higher level classes but will be thoroughly capable in a few years

[MrRubix]

intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with how many higher level math classes you take, lmao


I was plenty smart in middle school -- knew calc by 8th/9th grade, and my public school systems blew megacock



and no you probably couldn't get those people because they don't exist. Most people on this site are stupid. It's just a sad truth.

[dore]

i wasn't sarcastic at all

[MrRubix]

I'm not talking about knowledge -- I'm talking about the ability to not be an idiot

[dore]

yeah but you're acting like smart people should contribute to smart people threads, as if they should care about everything that resembles intellectual conversation on the internet

it's easy to not be an idiot and just not speak up about it. idiots just happen to be more vocal

I'm going to take dore's side here. There's another forum I go to whose userbase I'm a lot more familiar with (although in that case being smart isn't looked down upon), and the vast majority of topics are filled with stupid posts, so judging from that you'd think that most people there are really dumb. The thing is that the smart people not only tend to post a lot less in typical chat topics (and a lot less overall) but also don't always make an effort to appear intelligent. The latter effect is probably even more active here. Anyway, the proportion of smart people is significantly higher than it looks, but unless a topic comes along that has some kind of interesting math or argument they usually won't act as smart as they are. There's one guy I know of who pretty much only goes on the forum to flame people, but when he took the TRI52 it pointed to an IQ of ~150.
