Modification for second question: Add "emotional support for girls has increased while emotional support for boys has dropped". There is no male equivalent for "You go, girl!"

for no. 2 - some methodological nuance has changed to bias the results

YOu forgot that females perform better than boys as we're nto so easily distracted by low cut tops or hot totty. Boiys definitely have penis driving the brain at times.

Intelligence is a many faceted thing. If that is your definition of intelligence then computer modelling programs are intelligent.

Also for part two I voted "cultural expectations" but I suspect that the overall picture is a lot more complex then that.

[andrewducker]

I think it's a mixture of cultural expectations, teaching styles, and other things I haven't thought of :->

And computer modelling programs have a certain kind of very pure intelligence that's completely useless without drive, knowledge and emotion. They're hyper-aspergic vulcans :->

I don't think the second one is worded quite accurately towards what I voted for, but it's close enough and I can't think of how I really want to say it.
