IQ (moved subtopic)

Yes, that patches the proof. Both chez and I already did it for you. No, you can't leave that step as implied and claim you proved "if x then y". You proved "if y then x". With the additional step you have now proved "if and only if y then x", from which "if x then y" follows.

it would cost a point or two on an exam.

Then again we assume exam markers require all the steps. and grammer spilling

More than one I'd hope. If I reasoned "The road becomes wet when it rains. The road is wet, therefore it has been raining", I'd expect to fail that question/section if the exam is anything related to logic or proofs. I would need to show that the road becomes wet only when it rains, saying "well, how else would it become wet, thought that bit was obvious" is not really going to cut it.

Edit: I wrote that response before you edited your post, when it said "that would cost a point".

I see. Do you also only go for a shower when you have a date?

Anyway, my criticism of your master's proof has nothing to do with spelling, as you know. He failed on the logic section. The IQ section, if you like.

I have worn a tie. Not sure I have this century.

Shame, we could have used it to string you up and save ourselves the pain and anguish of having to decipher your illegible posts.

and save me all mine. Oh well

So, let's put this to rest for good. Here is the almost complete combined standings of the smartest regular posters on 2+2, Unstuck, and Slow Pony are. A few names undoubtedly slipped my mind so if you are not on it there is a small chance it was an oversight. Apologies for misspellings.

I will have nothing further to say on the subject,

First

Well, not first obvs. First to respond!

I think this belongs ITT, otherwise the election thread is gonna get OT.

I re-posted god's great list in the IQ thread, so that this thread doesn't get too derailed.

Dave, you missed someone. Or are you the undisputed zeroth position?

Well, a couple of people actually. Playbig must be tied for 0 with you.

Lol @putting chez where you put him. Puts something of a question mark over the integrity of the rating process.

i've been dethroned

Hey, you are still a spot above Roc. You all just got bumped to make room for the real brainboxes like *checks notes* chezlaw.

Wait, the forum that spun off from here had it's own spin off?

You made the list. Don't be so bitter

Top 20 (just), byatches. Small town kid makes good.

Just think how well we could both do if we posted less

Doubt you could do much to change your spot, since he obviously confused you with someone else.

I am someone else

There was a brief competition years ago between two posters who challenged each other to who could go the longest without posting. If I recall correctly, it involved outing some secondary accounts, new accounts, begging and a short time frame.

Why should anyone care and why is this in the election thread?

Because only the top 10 are allowed to vote.

No nich p makes the list kinda invalid
