A. Whenever I hear this question I think about a scene in the movie Mean Girls. Kady, the movie s protagonist has been homeschooled in Africa by her anthropologist parents. Her first real school is a public high school. At first she is shocked and confused by the rules of the school. As she says in a voice over, Never before had I lived in a world where adults didn t trust me. I got in trouble for the most random things. Then she is seen getting up to sharpen her pencil or to go to the bathroom and teachers being dismayed with her. This is the kind of transition problem Montessori children have.

A. 1 - 0.5 ^(n-1) >=0.95 0.5^(n-1) >=0.05 ln 0.5^(n-1) >=ln 0.05 n-1 >= ln 0.05 / ln 0.5 n-1 >= 4.32 n> = 5.32 n=6 explaining no mather what sex the first child has the probability that secound child has the same sex is 0.5 and the probability that 2nd and 3th child have the same sex is 0.5^2 so the probability that all n childs have the same sex is 0.5^(n-1) to have at least one from other sex 1- 0.5^(n-1) and it must be greater or equal to 0.95 1- 0.5^(n-1) >=0.95

Do children with higher IQs tend to go on to become vegetarians?
Q. I don't know if it is true or not, but a British Medical Journal reported that children with higher IQs tend to go on to become vegetarian. Does that mean that children with lower IQs eat meat? This is pretty much all the proof we need. It is obvious that eating meat is something we need to put behind us. Society needs to switch over to a vegetarian diet so we can have a more civil society. Kruger, very good answer. savs, your level of ignorance is surpassed by no one. To the rest of the meat eaters who replied to this question.

The reason you reply to my questions… [cont.]

A. Again you fail to provide a link... Here it is. You will also notice that the difference is only 5 points, not a major difference. If you also read carefully you will notice that 100 out of the 366 vegetarians used in this study ate fish and chicken therefore ...they are obviously not vegetarian ... therefore completely voiding your argument.
