Did she really have an IQ of only 98? How did she solve Hilbert's 10th Problem ??

Creativity. Doesn't help having a high IQ if you're effectively an insect.

Gromov has the highest IQ among researching mathematicians?

Math isn't hard, at least it isn't in the way people think it is. It's "hard" for most people because ironically they overthink it; everything in math can be arrived at from simpler concepts (1+1+1+1=2+2=2*2=2^2=...), but that process of traveling from simpler concepts to more complex ones is tedious and requires that you not fuck up at all on your way (try counting to one million without skipping a number by mistake). Computers and retards such as OP's Aussie Abo-looking bitch are especially good at this.
So the lesson is bio-calculators can stop LARPing as geniuses because they can into math; they are simple machines with not much in mind besides the precise instructions they were fed by their academic program.

I mean he has a point. If you dont leave gaps in your knowledge as you learn it, math is not very difficult.

>>11235168
Yep it's likely the IQ tests were just ineffective at measuring what they were trying to measure.
Also, some IQ tests have strict time constraints so there likely exists a subset of people who are able to solve them, but cannot in the time constraints. There also exists a set of people who cannot even solve them given no time constraints.

IQ is a measurement of not being retarded. From what I remember, the top 5% of janitors are smarter than the bottom 5% of college professors.
