    It isn’t even an iq test, it’s a cognitive test. For dementia and stroke patients. Questions are things like ‘place the numbers where they go on an analog clock.’

      I wonder if they’re going to change that one. More and more people are going to go their whole lives without ever seeing an analog clock.

        And I agree. Just like analog clocks and indeed internal combustion engine cars in general, manual transmissions are technology that used to be the norm but is now old fashioned, unnecessary except for rare use cases, and fast approaching obsolete.

          By modern automotive standards, manual transmissions are already obsolete. That said… They’re so damn fun to drive, and you feel way more in control because in some sense you are. Just not in the power and fuel savings that the machine picks
