10 Things More Likely To Happen To You Than Winning The Lottery

7. Spawning A Child With A Genius IQ

Birthing a little brainbox is actually more likely than you might think; in fact, 1 in 500 of us will spawn a child with a genius IQ. Of course, the brainier the parents, the more likely the child is to have at least a bit of sense between the ears, so you might want to start swotting up on Shakespeare and quadratic equations before you dive between the sheets. On the big, scary, official IQ test used by psychologists, the average person scores 80-100 out of 175, whereas to quality as a genius you need to hit 145. If you want to test your intellectual mettle in the hope that the fruit of your loins won€™t turn into the village idiot, you can find many versions of the test online.
