I have a 214 IQ because my parents made us eat Barramundi. Not as a once a week meal but as a daily 500g-1kg fish fillet portion with steamed veg every day for seven crucial years of our childhood.

So if your child thinks the height of intelligence is beating a kitty over the head with a rock and licking the lead paint off the walls, knock it on the head and start again.

Then every day pour the puzzle pieces from three puzzle boxes on the floor and tell them they have ten minutes to assemble all three images.

Omega 3 is useful, and shown to help brain development, but it doesn't give anyone 214 IQ, as if IQ was really a good measure. If your good at puzzles your IQ will be higher, so like BMI and all other tests that check some specific in a generic way, its not without major problems.

Just saying puzzles made a bigger diffrence than the fish, though the fish certainly helps. So does anything our bodies are very good at processing, conversely too much fish is quite bad becasue thats alot of oil. Also how did a child eat a kilo of fish everyday? I'd be pressed to manage that now.

Because the Higgs Boson doesn't want to be found. If you try and find it, it will send a bird to assault you with a baguette.

That was an assault? And here I was thankful because I was hungry for a baguette.

I've been on Omega 3-6-9 supplements (and mega-doses of all B vitamins) for just under six months. So far, I've only noticed two differences: 1) they give me fishy burps (ugh) and 2) they make chocolate taste really strange (in a bad way). #1 isn't too bad, but #2 is nearly a deal-breaker.

And growing up, I was raised on plenty of fish, pecans, walnuts, olive oil, and avocados... still didn't seem to have any difference. YMMV.

P.S. Avoid taking fish oil caps with any hot beverage... they'll melt in your mouth before you can swallow. Coffee + fish oil = mega gross.

Can I substitute muktuk for the fish? I am concerned about over fishing of salmon and tuna.

Fish are way better that pills. If you aint doing enough physical work as a child to Validate eating a kilo of fish we might as well equate IQ to the ammount of physical and intellectual work you do as children.

I very much doubt you ate a 1 kilo fish filet every day, and I doubt even more that your IQ is even remotely near 214.

1 kilogram amounts to about 2.2 pounds, which is a huge meal even for an adult. I am a pretty solid 25 year old man, and a half pound fish filet is a pretty decent sized meal for me, a full pound would be a challenge, and I wouldn't even attempt to eat a two pounder.

Then there is the question of the calorie need of a child. I looked up the data, a 100 gram serving of barramundi filet contains 147 calories, thus a 1 kilogram serving of barramndi filet would contain 1470 calories. Also, the calorie requirements of a regular active 10-year old child is about 2000 calories per day. So add up the calories from the vegetables and you would have your full daily calorie requirement right there.

I don't know how old you were when you supposedly ate this massive meal every day, but unless you only ate that one meal or ran a marathon every day, you would have experienced massive obesity as your body stored all those excess calories by converting them to body fat.

Also, barramundi is one of the species of fish that contains a fairly high amount of mercury, so eating a one kilo filet every day for seven years would almost certainly give you severe mercury poisoning which causes among other things hair, teeth and nail loss, rashes, muscle weakness, kidney failure, memory impairment and insomnia. The effect in children would be even more pronounced.

You say the Omega-3 and puzzles made you one of the smartest people on the planet, I say the mercury and malnutrition would have offset any benefits from them. So tell me, Mr. Einstein, how many kidney transplants have you had yet?

If you have an IQ of 214, then I am Emperor Napoleon I of France. But I am not, and you sir are full of s...

Lets see...every disease is a consequence of exposure to black hole radiation. Black holes expand forward and backward through time from point of origin. To overcome the disease ou need to achieve super position to the moment of change (Singularity=moment of change).

Now you know what causes every disease...1 billion dollars thanks.

The distance between any two points in space time is change in Possibility. To travel between them you need to achieve superposition to both points.

Warp travel....1 billion dollars thanks.

On a more serious note, I've never taken an IQ test, but I've been described by someone as the living embodiment of Occam's Razor. Not sure if that was meant as a compliment, though.

I plan on studying biology in college an try to find the cure to ageing (i.e. biological immortality). After that, it's a simple matter of routine gene therapy in conjunction with nanobots that repair damaged cells. And then the only thing stopping you from achieving real immortality is major brain trauma. But that would be fixed eventually, too.

Or the gray goo. Gray goo is bad. I propose we built anti-nanobots just in case we have an outbreak of gray goo. They'll be really, really big. I guess I should call them gigabots instead of anti-nanobots.

Or maybe I *should* just make nano-antibots out of antimatter. I'll keep them in a plastic jar.

A burst of EMP usually renders them inert. As long as they're caught quickly, at least.
