Dear Mensans,
You are all invited for the first edition of this year’s incredible Boardgaming days.
The plan is fairly simple:

How long were you breastfed?
Dominic Vanderzypen brought an interesting article about breastfeeding and IQ: http://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2015/mar/18/breastfeed...
So I am wondering... How long were you breastfed?
Those cathegories were chosen like this, since a baby can live only with milk up to 6 months and starts to eat other things from this time. The remaining cathegories were chosen purely arbitrarily.
