You or your Machine If you comfort yourself with the thought that computers can never take over because they are not intelligent enough, try this Spectrum program from Marcel Feenstra based on an idea by Chris Harding - an Australian whose ability to do IQ tests has earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The program, HIQ Solver, can sovle[sic!] three sorts of missing number problems from numerical IQ tests. These are sequences such as: 9,7,5,3,? including more complicated sequences: 6,7,7,6,8,5,? analogies of the form: 6(3)2 8(?)1 and nine number analogies: 2,3,1, 4,3,5, 2,0,? On an Eysenck IQ test a Spectrum running HIQSolver achieved an IQ of 160 - enough to qualify it for membership of societies for those who want to meet other people who are good at doing IQ tests - like Mensa which includes Sir Clive Sinclair among its members, and the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry which Chris Harding and Marcel Feenstra belong to. This high score is despite the fact that "the program has not been written especially for the Eysenck test. It is capable of finding patterns that are more complex than the ones found there," says Marcel Feenstra, and he adds, "It is relatively small and simple, so one really wonders what it means to have a high score on an IQ test." Despite HIQSolver's 160 score William Head, International President of the ISPE is not having it in his society - "we're talking about people, a computer wouldn't be eligi- ble." But times change. Chris Harding hopes to improve the program "in time we'd like to come up with a general pro- blem solving device able to tackle the real world." Such a machien would probably be better at IQ tests than simple humans and as William Head believes that those - like himself - who are good at IQ tests "tend to be more ethical than the rest of us" there seems no rational obsta- cle to handing over all decisions to the general problem solving device - for the good of all of us. So enter this program with care.
