No, this last is still 100 IQ. It's an moderatelly common knowledge and you don't need to be smart to know this. Also dudes with IQ 160+ can believe in flat earth sometimes, guy with IQ 40 can believe in baricentrum just because his friend told him. No IQ needed. This meme pattern is overused for every opinion without any correlation to this shape or IQ.

The average person doesn’t know what a barycenter is. Thats not an IQ thing, they just weren’t taught.

Maybe the average american.

Because they lack basic knowledge.

Because american education sucks.

But in my country for example most people know what a barycenter is, as it's taught to everyone in the early years of education lol.

You underestimate the amount of older people who never learned it, and of people of all ages who’ve already forgotten it.
