Sorry, this solely exists as some halfbaker - who shall remain nameless - put it up.
The idea was tricky maths problems to solve as the capcha, and use that as way to prevent low IQ people posting their asinine remarks.
As I tried to add an anno, the server wouldn't let me and I thought "Blimey, it's working already", but it was just the idea had been deleted while I was typing it...-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 03 2014 CAPTCHA IQ test http://images.dange...cha2hhjfj_thumb.jpg [xaviergisz, Jul 03 2014] Elitist Capcha [xaviergisz, Jul 03 2014] For a particular electronics seller I know of, you have to decode the value of a resistor by its color bands in order to get in to the comments area.-- lurch, Jul 03 2014 I can feel some sympathy with that, trying to exclude those of an assimilating nature, as to them resistance is useless. I wonder what they use instead of resistors?
But, I digress.
Perhaps a haiku-capcha would be more effective? But the starting parameters would need a bit of work.-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 04 2014 Lovely.
This would exclude me from basically everything. ...and from learning enough to be able to even learn what I do not know.Thanks eh.
There is a very... VERY, large difference between intelligence and learnedness.
You 'will' learn this fact.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 04 2014 You poor blind fools.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 04 2014 There are captchas for the blind, so that's been taken care of. I do not know the details behind how IQ is measured, but this would only screen out those with weak ciphering skills. I'll wager IQ measures much more than that.-- normzone, Jul 04 2014 typing this capcha
is that an 0 or zero
I cannot decide-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 04 2014 Unoriginal, baked, AND based on a bad premise.-- Voice, Jul 04 2014 //Unoriginal, baked, AND based on a bad premise.
Not my idea anyway, so I don't mind...
Anyway, these premises have far too many cockroaches....
//large difference between intelligence and learnedness
Not so, firstly they both contain three e's, one l, one n and a double- consonant, they are both nouns, both are written in the Latin alphabet and both exist in the same language (English)...ok, explain that eh, eh?-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 04 2014 um...
...intelligence has two L's?-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 04 2014 Minor details...-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 04 2014 Just because someone has a high IQ doesn't mean they won't post asinine remarks.
A high IQ doesn't mean you're not an idiot. It just makes you a quick-thinking idiot.-- Wrongfellow, Jul 05 2014 Why do you look at me when you say that?-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 05 2014 //It just makes you a quick-thinking idiot//
So... a savant? Shame that that word always seems to be preceded by the word idiot.I dislike that word.Idiot.It just rolls off the tongue wrong-like, ends all harsh and stuff.
How about substituting the word mediocre? ...or average?Heck, I'll even vote for atypical...
Atypical is good.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 11 2014 I did get some name cards printed out with
(my name)
Idiot Savant
(we`re sure about the first part)
and no one noticed....waste of time-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 11 2014 Trying to find a quote; I remember reading once someone wrote "It may be that our technology will require such specialization that a sufficiently advanced technician will be indistinguishable from a moron."-- lurch, Jul 11 2014 Again, why do you look at me when you say that?-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 11 2014 I propose a new word;
...that word is 'ideat', and furthermore I hereby declare each and every halfbaker to be an ideat savant by association.
so there.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 12 2014 <puzzled expression>-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 12 2014 "ideation" is already a word. Is "ideat" not perforce its root?-- lurch, Jul 13 2014 // Is "ideat" not perforce its root?//
Nope. Ideate is the root according to the etymological dictionary.So Ideat would be Idea + here... caught up in, or where ideas reside.
//Intelligence sauvant// wouldn't have anything to do with espionage would it?-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 13 2014 random, halfbakery
