I'm guessing the bear has the highest IQ of anyone there.

Carlsen: Haven’t Studied Chess Recently; It Showed.
Paul Morphy was considerably better than his contemporaries. So was Bobby Fischer. Neither benefited from computers, databases, or modern opening theory. For this reason, it is harder to compare the skill level of their play with the level of the top current players.
Gary Kasparov was only a bit better than his contemporaries but remained World Champion for 15 years.
Magnus Carlsen is the closest thing to a perfect human chess player. He knows more about chess than anyone ever. He definitely would lose to a computer, but that would be like a math contest against a scientific calculator, or a boxing match with a brick wall. Computers really are perfect, or at least close enough that we can't tell the difference, whereas all humans make mistakes, including Magnus.
As good as Magnus is, he is only a bit better than his contemporaries. There are a number of players who are not far behind.
Bobby Fischer reportedly had an IQ of 180. He was incredibly brilliant. I have heard that Magnus Carlsen has an IQ of 190. He is also incredibly brilliant. I don't know how one quantifies the difference between 180 and 190, especially half a century apart.
Magnus Carlsen once admitted that he had to drink less to play chess well. I have seen him play speed chess online while apparently drunk but he still won because he can play intuitively almost perfect chess. I've seen Russian Grandmasters also win while drunk. So, therefore, I've been wondering if Magnus Carsen is an alcoholic.
In this interview, he looks more disheveled than usual. It is also a bit odd that he decided not to participate in the World Chess Championship, giving up the World Chess Champion title that he has held for ten years.

Wild Beehive in a Washing Machine (Short Version)
https://youtube.com/shorts/ame3yfxCdxY?feature=share
Every one of this woman's videos are exactly the same. She is not afraid to handle bees, and she takes pride in relocating colonies.
I've had three bees stings in my life, starting as a small child. If I tried to handle bees the way she does, I would probably get multiple stings.
Perhaps she uses a smoker while she is handling the bees. Honey bees become docile in the presence of smoke. I am guessing that their instinct is to take shelter in the hive.
Best wishes,
John Coffey

Ancient Humans Made Millions Of These - We Don’t Know Why -
Homo Habilis, with only a brain size of 610 cc, invented the stone axe about 2.5 million years ago. This was high-tech for over 2 million years.
Homo sapiens, with a brain size of 1350 cc, have only been around for about 300,000 years.
I had heard that more varied tool usage didn't start until about 50,000 years ago. However, this is not correct...

This Pac-Man Game will NEVER be Released Again

I liked Jr. Pac-Man although the difficulty seems tough. The Atari 2600 version is one of the best games on the Atari 2600. The 2600 version has selectable levels of difficulty.
