April fools! I hope that people had fun. It's always funny how many people are actually fooled.

Credit to Halab and Cyrus for the idea. The triva questions were from the OpenTriviaQA database by uberspot.

How the IQ score worked was that it was impossible to go above 200 or below 0, and it was supposed to be centered around 100, so it got easier to lose points and harder to gain them the higher your IQ got above 100, and vice-versa for below 100. The questions themselves all had the same weight. It was very easy to cheat (not least because the answers were all public), but just for fun, here are all of the final IQ scores: https://bitcointalk.org/af2022.txt

Thanks for this little prank!  Wink

It was a lot of fun, and at the same time educational. Because regardless of the way in which the answer was researched, some questions that were not known, we learned something. And that's always good.

And I'm even happier, because I was in the top50, among so many excellent forum users!  Roll Eyes Cool Grin
