"I want to be smarter than others"
Do you really? Because I can tell you that the view from the 99th percentile hurts like fucking Hell because it means you’re smart enough to see how much entirely non-trivial distance that last 1% covers.

what's the name of the machine that can play chess better than any human
Kasparov v Deep BlueThat is Deep Blue.
I think it’s worth noting that Deep Blue took 30 years (of combined developer time) to build, ran on the most advanced computer gear available at the time (though many desktop computers can outperform it today and in 5 more years all new computers will), and the software was tweaked between games which, to me at least, is cheating. Also Kasparov may well not be the greatest chess player living, let alone of all time.
More to the point, computers only do excactly what they are programmed to do. So Kasparov wasn’t beaten by a computer but by a computer program that took years of mental gymnastics from three world class programmers.
It’s essentially the same as bringing all 23 volumes of the OED to a spelling contest. The only interesting part is that the dictionary was written; not that the combined, archived research of thousands can beat one human’s ability. Deep Blue is still just an artifact of the humans that made it.

Which Letter Is Used Most in English
Much better phrasing this time. But you still need to learn to use search engines correctly. This query…
frequency letters english
…got the right answers immediately.
And frankly, the answer is fairly self-‌evident. Every word has a vowel and there are only 5 (and a half) of them so it’s a gimme that the most used letter is going to be one.
Another easy insight is that articles are going to be among the most, if not the most, common words so “the” and “a” are top contenders. So without even looking it up you should have guessed “e” or “a.” And since “e” is a modifier—as in diphthongs and silent “e”—in so many words, “e” is a pretty obvious choice. And it is the right one. “A” is either second or top five depending on whether you’re after usage in text or usage in the lexicon.

why some people are smarter than others
Dunce. A friend of mine is a teacher dealing with teens in California. Recently one of said teens called my friend old and stupid while declaring himself intellectually superior. Teen lights an M-‌80 with a short fuse less than a minute after walking away from conversation. Teacher, in perhaps the best chance he’ll ever have at getting through to someone again, reminds the kid of how stupid teachers are while wrapping up the hand and trying to keep the fingers on.
Some people are smarter than others because they don’t do stupid shit and have no drive to do so. Why?
Part of me wants to say, “Because they’re not genetic back-‌wash who would be naturally selected to die or become unviable for breeding.” But that’s pointless, overly obvious, leaning on metaphysics and flawed.
Nature pushes boundaries and stupidity is just another niche to be explored and colonized if there is any success in it. Watching Fox News for 10 minutes conclusively demonstrates stupidity is a nutrient rich habitat.
So, back to why.
Why?
Beats the fuck out of me. All the time.

I don’t know why this one pisses me off tonight. Normally I’d find it funny. Now I just wanna break 4 metacarpals going to work on whomever typed it. I guess even stupidity has a consume by date attached.

I’d love to see this because I suspect there is a staggering drop between say 1900 and 1960. I don’t think the fumes will last another generation. Don’t you hear the engine knocking?

how to get a genius iq
Seriously?
If you’re over 25, it’s too late. Sorry, thanks for playing. Even natural born genius tends to flare out at that point. At 25, Isaac Newton had already independently invented calculus and described the nature of gravity. At 25, Michelangelo had already done the Sistine Pietà and was starting work on the David. At 25, Einstein was polishing his paper on the special theory of relativity. Yeah, there are exceptions. Raymond Chandler didn’t start till he was 44 but the genius arc predictably crowns in the mid to late 20s.
If you’re under 3, or in utero, it’s pretty easy to get a genius IQ. Prenatal vitamins for mom. Breast milk for baby and lots of healthy food for both. Cold water ocean fish like cod and salmon, and organic vegetables especially. Logic puzzles, shapes, and music will get you the rest of the way there. You must never be taught that contradictions rule the world because they don’t exist in nature. Too bad it’s up to your parents what you eat and what nonsense you get presented.
It’s hard for most kids to learn that their parents are not perfect. It seems to be impossible, no matter how much evidence abounds, to learn that most of them actually hate you.

Sex drive has almost nothing to do with intelligence and almost everything to do with hormones and psychological drives. That said, high IQ often means you get bored with things quicker than most.
