pretty baffling that anyone could get stuck in this game.

Yes, because only people who go to university are successful in life and intelligent. "

I'm just giving you a simple measure. All I'm saying is that the VAST majority of people aren't incredibly bright. "

umm actually no....the median IQ is 100, which means that roughly half of the worlds people are at least somewhat bright "

If that is the case then it's because there are no forms of higher education available...in countries where those are it's closer to 30% these days. "

Sorry if we're not as smart as you ;)

Yes. Why buy a puzzle game if you're just going to check a guide every time you get... you know, puzzled?

My 'calculation' was just a rough stab at a general issue in the world: that most people are stupid, I didn't realize so many people were going to take it that literally. It can be fixed, but not overnight obviously. "

To each his own.

Fucking understand this please.

I would just like to point out that Will and Norm from tested totally agree with me. 

I completely disagree. Some people aren't geared for puzzle solving and have more trouble than most people might. Two of my friends bought Portal 2 day one for the story, humour and atmosphere. The puzzles are completely ancillary to their enjoyment of the game. They shouldn't be chastised for asking for help on puzzles because that's not what they came for and it isn't in their skill-set. I didn't have any serious troubles with any of the puzzles but I don't consider people dumb if they needed help.

Wait, so you draw some sort of conclusion from people who ask for help in this game?
I finished Portal 2 about 10 minutes ago. I had trouble with one level. However, my little brother finished it way faster than me. Does this suggest he's smarter than me?
He might be, but he's unlikely to be that much smarter than me to make an impact that big. Instead it would be more realistic to entertain the idea of different thought process.

Drawing the conclusion that Portals actually requires more than basic intelligence is outrageous. There are about 11 variables you have to consider in the game in total (2x portals, 3xgoo, 2xcube, 1xenemy, 1x stream, 1x laser bridge..ah yea, trampolines). Every level have fewer variables than that and believe it or not but people in general can handle alot more brain stress than that. Making the game out to be really advanced and calling people stupid over it might be the laziest analysis Ive seen in a good while.
