Utterly fascinating.
1) So apparently my factory worker Malaysian mum who dropped out from school in Secondary 2 was the genius in the family. Not the father who went to RI.
I have no problems believing that though. She had a very quick mind and a lot more guts.
2) It explains why monarchies have proved to be politically unstable. A capable king doesn't pass on his intelligence to his sons.
3) If the husband is smarter, a daughter would be optimal. And vice versa.
4) It isn't enough for your wife to be intelligent. You'll have to assess her parents and maternal line. Even this doesn't guarantee anything - it merely reduces the odds by a further 50% each generation you go back.
