what?

Finds the highest rated solution for the raven-matrices iq test.

why?

I don't know.

how?

There are 60 questions, a result below 12 correct answered questions is considered an IQ of 35. So I determined a baseline solution that gets the lowest IQ. The script just tries each possiblie solution for each question and monitors the resulting IQ. A correct answer increases the result as there is only one correct answer in each set of questions. This means the script plays 8*60 quizes and tortures the ajax api. This is fine.
