Ask A Genius 248 – Magnus
Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner
August 3, 2017
[Beginning of recorded material]
Jacobsen: Okay.
Rick Rosner: So, you could argue that there are a huge practice effect and a huge determination in the diligence. So, I mean the whole thing is arbitrary again in the same way that when, if you have ever watched the world’s strongest man, see a bunch of guys who weigh anywhere from 280 to 400 pounds doing various things that take tremendous strength.
Lifting stone balls that are two feet in diameter. Pushing 800-pound truck tires that are 10 feet in diameter, end over end. Racing while towing a semi that might go for I don’t know 10,000 pounds. And there are different people win different events.
There’s no world’s strongest man whose won that thing eight years in a row, I don’t think, maybe there is. His name is probably something Scandinavian-like, the name Magnus Carlson comes to mind.
