You have Wechsler (128+), Stanford-Binet (140+), Woodcock-Johnson (131+), and K-ABC (130+).
Wechsler always was 128+, but the current is 130+.
Stanford-Binet varied from 140+ to the earlier 1937 160-169 range. Current max is 132+.
When comparing the written rules of AD&D 2E for Intelligence you have to remember what IQ tests were available at the time. You have Wechsler 1981 (130+), K-ABC 1983 (130+), and Stanford-Binef 1986 (132+). So when AD&D 2E talked about 140 IQ they are referring to a score that is in excess of the then current caps for the three IQ tests.

Nice moving of the goal posts. How I know is historical documentation. There weren't government paid for schools. How schooling was done was through parents hiring a teacher(s) to run a local school (most people lived in communities of several hundred people at the time. The parents split the cost for running the school, paying the teacher, and in many cases if the teacher didn't have a home they would be roomed with a family as part of their payment.
A steam powered car was practical. What you mean to say is the first internal combustion engine.
I'm reading the history of electrical engineering and Carl isn't listed.
First airship was created by Brazilian Bartolomeu de Gusmão in 1709. The first powered airship was done by Henri Giffard and flew in 1852. He was French.
For all your claims about a superior indoctrination you have yet to show that here. Every claim you made as being done by a German was actually done by someone else. Did Germans contribute to science? Yes. Did they create things? Yes.

I don't care what you like or don't like. It's not germane to the discussion at hand.
Yet it produced generations of morons that lacked critical thinking and let their government create 2 world wars. Strange thing to be proud of.

So you admit that Americans are smarter and have created far more inventions that have benefited the world than Germany. It's good to know that the US is leading the pack in geniuses and inventions.
Tell me again how your collectivist indoctrination is paying off. I could use a good laugh since every measurement shows Germany to be woefully behind most other European nations by a small margin and the US by leaps and bounds.
