The joke was that their IQ is the same number as room temperature.
Fahrenheit- 70-ish. Low-average IQ
Centigrade- 20-ish. This would be the lowest IQ ever recorded on someone able to take the test. A result this low would bring into question the ethics of having administered the test in the first place.
Kelvin- 300-ish. Either the smartest person in the entire world or took the test multiple times and added up all their scores.
I really appreciate you trying to keep me from falling into the trappings of “pound of feathers or pound of steel,” but I wanna make sure you’re in on the joke that I’m essentially asking “are you calling them normal stupid or the dumbest person ever.”
Either way, IQ tests are inherently biased and don’t directly measure intelligence, so the whole thing is moot, but for the chuckle.
🚨My IQ is room temperature at best.
C or F?
Rankin
Doesn’t matter, it’s the same temperature. You can’t convert temperature to IQ.
Also, the SI unit would be K

It’s usually LESS funny when you have to explain the joke, somehow this is the opposite
Thanks, you made me lol. Well, chuckle out loud. Good enough.
Trolls convert temperature into intelligence in Discworld, though.
Rather, they inversely convert temperature into intelligence, since they need to cool down to get smarter 😄
