Domino's Commerical with Go

[hananokuni2580]

IMHO Go is about pattern more than it is about intelligence. I often wonder why in the US this game is often presented as a pastime for intellectuals rather than as a game that can be learned and mastered just like any other. Certain patterns of action in, say, basketball or hockey are conducive to success therein and so are practiced over and over. The same can be said of Go.

I often find parallels between a game of Go and the progression of an ecosystem from bare ground to mature forest.

[ShannaPondanna]

im in fifth going to fourth while my iq is tested to be 130 O.O

[realitymodel2]

@ShannaPondanna mines 146. suck it.

[usernameshortage]

Subway, dominoes, same trash food. At least the guy was smart enough to take the advertisement money :)

[ikadir18]

Love rosner. Except subway is about healthy eating they dont claim to be the best tasting

[hifatsoos]

Rosner is definitely an odd dude.

[clossius]

Anyone else notice that this game is horrible? Looks like they just placed stones around the board lol, not really a game at all. xD!

[spylogo3]

@clossius In this video they did randomly place their stones on the board. An actual game would look somewhat meaningful even if you didn't understand the significance of each stone's position upon the board.

[catalinaguerrero]

wow 200 IQ is he a rocket scientist?

[SpaceMagician]

@catalinaguerrero Haha, no. He currently is a comedy writer, but he was a stripper and a bouncer prior to that.

[FrostR3b0rn]

@Suckaaahhh

Sir. thats the thing. he is an actor. the somewhat irony is that they misspelled his name on purpose and they're someone making fun of him because of the way he is.

[spylogo3]

@FrostR3b0rn Haha... It is Rick Rosner. He is a hobo who likes to show of his intelligence. Plus, it is too close to the actual person to be an actor.

[ThePaul1E]

@spylogo3 well that dosent really matter, even if you are playing yourself you are still an actor since somebody is deciding what you may or may not say.

[FrostR3b0rn]

@Suckaaahhh

sir its not, its an actor thats supposed to look like him. but look at how his name is spelled.

[theguitarlol]

that kid is a frustrated 30 kyu :P ( the character, not the actor i hope)

[Dirtfire]

I don't think Rick Rosner has an iq of 200, but whatever.

[NintenFan0900]

Read the wikipedia article about that guy...srsly.

[FrostR3b0rn]

you know, lol at first i actually thought that was the real Rick ROSNER, but then i realized lol.

[Heartagramerz]

I want one... but there are only Subways that are the closest places...

[milfballs]

He took the Titan Test and got 47 then re-attempted it getting a perfect score.

He even said specifically in a documentary that he started scoring in the 170s, then 180s, and then finally 190s.

[Ko252]

he said. is it ever verified?

[ethline]

This guy was on A&E's "Obsessed" show. He's crazy. He works out 50+ times a week.

[HumanChemistry101]

Check out the IQ | Smartest person ever video, for an accurate, referenced, listing of people with a 200 or greater IQ.

[BeyondTheArms]

When I saw this i couldn't believe it, lol. Especially cause this first aired only after I've been playing for two months or so.

[bill0756]

Generally Langan is considered to have the highest IQ and the "smartest" man in the world. Rosner, not "Rossner", has never had his IQ tested or estimated at 200.

[killertoad]

I'm sure they had to spell rosner wrong for rights purposes

[Ko252]

the smartest man in America, you mean. Kin Ung Young is considered the "smartest" man in the world.

[ThePaul1E]

@bill0756 well you dont know that, the result of 200 maybe wasnt published as he took the test private without anybody being able to act as witness. However hes IQ is somewhere up there.

[TheNaramatu]

@bill0756 I think he did when he was younger he said but it was around 150. Which is short of 200 by 50 for you math geniuses out there! Dominos is unconcerned with math, they only care about getting cheese and bread at the cheapest prices and you buying it once they toss it all together and throw it in an oven. P & Ls is what Dominos is about and it shows. Good little greedy degenerates, all is going according to plan.......

[almowak2]

@bill0756 Langan is not regarded to have the highest IQ. The first time he took the Mega test he scored 42 or an equivalent IQ of 170. There are smarter people such as Tao who won the field medal for his work in four areas of math. Perelman solved the Poincaré Conjecture. Witten was quoted by the New York times as the smartest man in the world. Chomsky was also quoted as such. There is lots of fuss about IQ tests but genius ought to be measured by ones ability to solve real problems.

[PCoderch]

@almowak2 You are confusing IQ with achievement. They are two different things. IQ is the ability to think logically and solve problems. The more logical variables your brain can take into account the more complex problems you can solve and the higher your IQ. Langan defeats all the people you mention easily in terms of intelligence. Solving the Poincare Conjecture or Fermat's last theorem has a lot more to do with patience and specific mat h knowledge than sheer brain power

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch although no one with an IQ of 100 or probably even 130 would be able to solve these problems no matter how hard and for as long they tried, because these problems do have a high degree of complexity. However, any person with an IQ of 160 could have the chace of solving these problems if they had the amount of math knowledge that Andrew Wiles or Perelman have and worked on it for YEARS like they did. So, this is the IQ you would need to solve any of these problems: 160.

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch Langan's IQ is much higher than that between 190 and 210. He can solve problems that are harder than the Poincare Conjecture or the Riemman Hypothesis, like his CTMU which tries to explain EVERYTHING. It is scary what Langan could accomplish in mathematics if he had the amount of math knowledge that Wiles or Perelman have and dedicated all his brain power to number-crunching. And Langan scored 174 on the Mega Test on his first try because he took only 8 hours to finish it.

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch He scored a record of 190 on his second attempt, and when he was tested by Dr.Novelly on the Stanford-Binet he broke the ceilling and scored at 195 which is the highest IQ an adult person has scored - adult IQs are much lower than childhood IQs because childhood IQs are expressed as a ratio of mental age divided by chronological age whilst adult scores are epressed as deviation.

[almowak2]

@PCoderch Are you out of your mind? A paper written to promote intelligent design and questioning unguided evolution is much more difficult than Riemann, Poincaré, and Fermat!!!! Are you jerking off conjectures like that just to make yourself sound knowledgeable???

Do you really think that a man who spent his entire life trying to prove the existence of god 150 years after Darwin is the smartest man in the world??

[PCoderch]

@almowak2  You are showing a very sophomoric understanding of Langan's theory. He is trying to explain EVERYTHING, including all the phenomena in physics as well as the very existence of mathematics. And this has nothing to do with challenging Darwin's theory of evolution. Langan believes in evolution and he also believes in God. He believes that the Universe works like a mind, the mind of God. And yes, explaining EVERYTHING demands a higher IQ than solving Poincare's Conjecture.

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch After all, the Poincare Conjecture is a small part of mathematics and math itself is part of reality. Trying to explain all of reality would by proxy explain math in it's essence. I am not questioning that Perelman and Andrew Wiles have a very high IQ. A person with an IQ of 100 or even 130 could never solve these problems no matter how hard they tried or for how long they tried. But an IQ of 160 would suffice. Solving these problems requires as much PATIENCE and MATH KNOWLEDGE

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch as it does raw intelligence. Solving these problems does NOT mean that Wiles and Perelman are more intelligent than Langan; it means they know a lot more math than Langan does and that they focused on that problem for years. Andrew Wiles took almost 8 years to solve Fermat's last Theorem working on it 14 hours a day! He is a very smart guy and knows more math than Langan does, but in terms of sheer brain power Langan beats him lol. If Langan had the amount of math knowledge that

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch Wiles had and dedicated himself exclusively to math and solving it instead of reading dozens of different subjects at once, he would probably have solved Fermat's in much less time than Wiles did. By the way, I do agree with you that Perelman and Wiles are much more geniuses than Langan is. Genius is achievement and not IQ. In terms of IQ, Langan is superior, but in terms of genius Perelman and Wiles win hands down.

[PCoderch]

@almowak2 You are confusing intelligence with genius, which are different things. Tao and especially Perelman are true geniuses, something Chris is not, but they do not have an IQ(intelligence) on the level of Langan's. They won the Field's medal because they have tons of math knowledge and worked very hard for many years on a few math problems. However, Langan can deal with an even higher level of complexity and solve even harder problems if he dedicated himself to it. If Langan had the amount

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch of math knowledge that Perelman and Tao have and dedicated himself only to math instead of being a plymath, he would have been able to solve the Poincare Conjecture even faster than Perelman did. Also, mathematics like everything else involves creativity, which is not measured by IQ tests which only measure your ability to think logically. In the case of math, though, logic is more important than creativity, so Langan would be the World's greatest mathematician if he dedicated himself

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch exclusively to mathematics and not to understanding ALL of reality. Chris' CTMU is far more ambitious than solving any math problem as it tries to understand the ultimate nature of reality, the answer to that old philosophical question of why is there something rather than nothing. People who question Langan's intelligence are just jealous. Weinberg, Nobelist in physics, says that Langan is the smartest man he ever met in his life. And Langan's IQ is not 170 but 195, the record...

[www1530]

Does not look like a real game - no parity between the number of black and white stones, and the last move is the kid placing a white stone and then clearing the board. Why would he be upset after he made a move? Rick should have made a move and the kid respond by clearing the board. Hard to see just where the stones are placed but they look like they were just randomly placed on the board.

[jngngshk321]

because it's a commercial you dumb nigger

[Macrokosmos]

you're my hero.

LOL

[hananokuni2580]

@www1530 If the kid were a professional, he could replay the game in the exact same order as before. I've often regarded such an ability as superhuman, but then again it is no different from remembering a piece of music or a story. Or even the arrangement of LEGO blocks in a sculpture.

Well, I found the commercial rather odd, to say the least. Better than complete obscurity, I guess.

[iiifrank]

IGS FTW!

[spylogo3]

Haha, this is no argument about which server you want to use. It is just cool that so many people are interested in go. I did, however, delete many posts that posed violent claims towards KGS.

[fucniggaz1]

@spylogo3 My IQ is 1,000,000,00000,000000,0000,00­0000

[straightandkink917]

Humorous bit. I certainly laghed when I saw it anyway.

But not because it wasn't true.

I went to high school with "Rich Rossner" and he might, indeed, be the world smartest man (I heard he aced his SAT's anyway: 800 out of 800, a perfect score, or so I was told. I have reason to think even that might not have been much of challenge for him either.

Rick has had a varied career too in the public eye (just ask him--he presented himself as a male stripper at one point I remember). :D

s917

[LivingDust]

Wow! Go in a maInstream commercial!

[Omaplata41]

Hell yeah!!!!

KGS!

[mkharris08]

isnt it Rosner, not Rossner?

[spylogo3]

Indeed it is, I even spelled his name with one "s" in the description.
