Default Re: Sklansky\'s Christian/Math Challenge

This is a really retarded challenge. If Sklansky really wanted to do anything other than say 'Look at me, I'm smart, I really am!', he'd choose a difficult test that wasnt a lock to get 100%, i.e. an IQ test where people would actually have a chance of beating him.

This wasn't about me. It was about those people who say all Jews and Muslims who have died are now in hell. Regardless of how they lived their lives. I would have much rather bet that none of them are in the top 1000 in particle physics or advanced calculus. But since I am not either, and I know no one who would take that that test for me, I had to settle for the SAT.

In any case the only reason I commented here was because people were incorrectly saying that I welshed on a bet.

The point is that you chose a test where you will likely get 100%, so no one smart enough to contemplate being smarter than you is going to be dumb enough to take you up on this bet. Why not challenge them to problems similar to those in the IMO? Those dont require advanced math at all, yet are extremely tricky and basically noone in the world gets 100% on them. So that would seem like a much better challenge.
