I take your point, but it doesn't doesn't work in this case as the total number of goods is specified.

Even if the 5% of goods are free, the entire other 95%, can't be above the average price.

Anyhow, the answer is in. Cynthia was comparing her 15 iqtest.com scores to her single well-normed IQ score.

As iq.test.com appears to give scores that are normed to an average of 120, the entire issue is explained away, and we are left with a nice big g-factor of general ability once more.
