This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's not capped, really. But the claimed 250 IQ would be 10 standard deviations from the mean, so he'd be the most intelligent person in a population of ~10^24^ people.
~10^11^ humans have ever lived on earth.
The most likely explanation is that he was from outer space
Smells like von neumann
It's capped in practical terms by the highest score a test can be given. Unless getting a perfect just means you have another harder round.
so what you are saying is that it has a cap, which is based on the number of people he is compared against?
No, but without people to compare against, there is a limit to how high the scale can stay accurate. This is different from it actually having a cap, though.
After 30 years on the internet, this might be the absolute nerdiest conversation I have ever seen. I'm impressed.
I'm honored
