Not sure what point you're trying to make.
By this I mean that it doesn't matter what IQ level, the main thing is how much time one or another person devotes to studying their interest. For example, a person may have an IQ of 65 (which is considered low), but if he improves his knowledge, he can become a genius.

A person with a low IQ can still become a strong, competitive player (with enough practice)- just likely not a genius (whatever level that is defined as) and definitely not a world champion. I don't believe there is one grandmaster in the history of chess that had a low IQ. If there is, let me know.

There is no definitive statement that people with an IQ of 65 can barely walk. This has not been confirmed yet.

1+4=5 (14+1)
2+5=12 (25+2)
3+6=21 (36+3)
..............................
8+11= 96 (811+8)

:)

1+4=5 (1*4+1) 2+5=12 (2*5+2) 3+6=21 (3*6+3) .............................. 8+11= 96 (8*11+8) :)

I agree with Mrazek. I see how the answer for the viral iq test is 96, however, it could also be 40. I think so because my logic is 1+4=5 then 2+5=7, then 7+ previous answer (5)=12. Using current sum + previous result= current result, I got 40 for 8+11. IQ doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Hard work will make a huge difference in your chess journey. As with everything, a smart person will learn and do things faster and better than a less smart person. I also want to add something. Hard work doesn't guarantee a chess title.

I seem to be the only one that got 52, since:
1+(41)=5
2+ (52)=12
3+ (63) =21
8+ (114)=52

If only I had noticed the pattern was in the first number, not the order in which the problems were shown...
