It is quite odd, especially given an interesting phenomenom known as the Flynn Effect, whereby starting around the 1930s, people have scoring progressively higher marks on IQ tests at a rate of approximately 3 points per decade.
Which I probably should have mentioned

"Yeah, because you weren't smart enough to figure out what the easy way way!"
I've used that one on a couple uncles to great effect. ;-)
