Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Eh not really. My IQ is around there and I only know the first 10.
And anyway the answer I was thinking of was only the approximation. Alexander posted the true answer.

Your IQ doesnt have to be high.
All you have to do is type it into wolfram alpha and memorise digits like you memo blind.

Btw W(x) is defined as inverse xe^x

Also I'm not sure if everyone who is good at maths has a high IQ; I'm not even sure if my IQ is any higher(or lower?) than average though I'm good at a fair amount of stuff (like everyone else is).

Oh no. I'm not nearly as good at math as many people here.. I happened to know that particular problem because it was a challenge question on a math test. IMO IQ is hardly the biggest factor in someone's smartness(not a word?).
 
My last remark was made jokingly, for people who couldn't tell.

As for "smartness", if you define it similar to intelligence, IQ does have a big factor because IQ does measure intelligence. But the way that is measured is debatable on some fronts. And IQ by no means determines whether or not you will succeed in life. Also, wisdom is not the same thing as intelligence.

It does. I meant that someone with a lower IQ can still be far better at something than someone else. I know a lot of people who are better than me at math, and pretty much every subject.
