Nu har de sedan en tid annonser för "artiklar" om "världens smartaste man", William Sidis, som de påstår hade 260 i IQ medan Einstein bara hade 160. Det är bara myter. Sidis hade bara lätt för sig i skolan och hade en far som satte press på honom. Sidis gjorde inte mycket nytta för världen, och han tog inget IQ-test. Einstein tog inget IQ-test heller, så siffran 160 är bara spekulation.

"It has been acknowledged that Helena and William's mother Sarah had a reputation for exaggerated statements about the Sidis family. Helena had falsely stated that the Civil Service exam William took in 1933 was an IQ test and that his ranking of 254 was an IQ score of 254. It is speculated that the number "254" was actually William's placement on the list after he passed the Civil Service exam, as he stated in a letter sent to his family. Helena also said that "Billy knew all the languages in the world, while my father only knew 27. I wonder if there were any Billy didn't know." This statement was not backed by any source outside the Sidis family, and Sarah Sidis also made the improbable statement in her 1950 book The Sidis Story that William could learn a language in just one day."
Så var det med det. Ingen bluffprodukt, men väl en bluffartikel fylld med reklam.

Vad lågt av Microsoft. Det finns aldrig någon skribent till deras artiklar heller.
Jag har alltid kört med att det kommer upp en blank sida i Explorer. Pc för alla hade en artikel för säkert 20 år sedan och jag har kört på det sedan dess.
