@Heavenly_Race_ I find it funny that the IQ people that post about “phenomenons” like this are almost always the same people who’ve convinced themselves they’ve only experienced the phenomenon in one direction
@AM_Pines@uxorious100 It’s still impressive, but you’re right, it’s not as impressive as that same 5 rate would be for other exams. But there is clearly a statistically significant difference between 30-50 5’s and a random sample of test takers
@octonion@JoyceCarolOates I’m not going to name the school if that’s what you’re after. It’s is a non-magnet public school ranked in the 100-200 range in California, and 1,000-1,200 range nationally. If you have particular questions, ask away
FWIW, there were 3 factors that I believe contributed to this: 1) Affluence. This was in a middle to upper-middle class area. Most if not all of these students did private prep for AP tests. 2) School was selective about who could take BC. Most “advanced” STEM were told to take AB. 3) the teacher was really good and was also the same teacher for honors pre-calc. Meaning students started getting exposed to BC-level rigor the year prior.
@LarrisseNelson@uxorious100 Nope. There were a few factors: 1) we were a large HS (800 per grad class) but were highly selective about who was allowed to take BC (most took AB) 2) we had a really good teacher that taught the course about as well as I could imagine
@DontTweetMe15@Michael_Druggan He did. The single leg failed then he switched the double leg which was successful. And to correct what I previously said, he competed at 175 at the time, but I have no idea what he actually weighed at time of filming
@DontTweetMe15@Michael_Druggan This is simply a counterpoint to saying that big and strong but untrained guys have no way to defend a double/single leg. A state champion wrestler fully had his leg and he was able to break out of it by simply being bigger and stronger, and actually doing the wrong thing.
I think a decent (although flawed) example is when Georgio (160 lb HS state champion) wrestled Bradley Martin (260 lb body builder). Although Georgio eventually got him down, his first single-leg attempt was stuffed simply by Martin doing exactly what you are told NOT to do (bending at the waste and lifting). But again, a state champion wrestler is a FAR CRY from the average. And even he struggled at first. I think it’s clear in the video that he wasn’t used to trying to takedown that much weight and had to completely alter his takedown strategy to eventually get Bradley down. I just don’t think an average wrestler would have been able to do so
