In a exam of 15 multiple choice questions, each student gets 3 points for each correct answer, 1 point is deducted for each incorrect answer, while he is not graded for each question that is not answered. If a student answers at least one question in the competition, the chances of getting a positive grade are:
im starting a system of government in which the higher your iq the more shit you can get away with like how caligula worked but with smart people so whine if ur a pleb say i if you agree lol
Are these Chinks really smarter than whites or just give more shits? Do all genious IQ highschoolers try to attend these? Are (example) these (on pic) necessarily the smartest highschoolers in US, or is there potential room for improvement? Will they become the best mathematicians/physicists in the future? I'm asking because I'm sceptical of Chinks and Jews overproportionately being represented. I think it's probably only because their culture makes them study and care more, thus giving them a temporary advantage in knowledge, but at no point abstracitonal abilities that exceed those of their caucasian peers. It's from this educated guess derived, that, in my opinion, there could have been a supperior team assembled of/even if consisting purely of whites (if they gave a shit). By the way, the notion that Asians and Jews have higher IQs is completely false and based on selective testing, so you can't use that as an argument.
A lot of people are saying weed protects you from Covid 19. What does /sci/ think about this? It seems as though anyone can dig up a "study" to support any viewpoint they choose to have.
I don't normally use this board so 10,000 apologies for breaking all your rules by asking a question. I'm sorry.

The new substance is the result of a feat thought to be impossible: polymerizing a material in two dimensions.
Using a novel polymerization process, chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities.
The new material is a two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets, unlike all other polymers, which form one-dimensional, spaghetti-like chains. Until now, scientists had believed it was impossible to induce polymers to form 2D sheets.
Amazing what Chinese researchers can discover with absolutely zero resources. Go, China, GO!
