# High IQ Test — Scripts

> Five daily quiz episodes. The cheapest views in the library and the strongest habit loop. Script IDs HIQ-001 through HIQ-005.

<Note>
  Show concept: [High IQ Test](/social/shows/high-iq-test). Character and shot rules: [Production Spec](/social/scripts/production-spec). Numbers: [Verified Data Sheet](/social/scripts/verified-data).
</Note>

<Note>
  **Two education-grammar rules apply to every episode in this pack**, from the [teardowns](/social/teardowns#cannabis-education--and-a-warning):

  1. **State the conclusion first.** The creator who opened with the answer beat a PhD on the identical topic — **16.9% vs 9.2% like rate**. Do not build to the finding; lead with it and spend the rest earning it.
  2. **Put the citation on screen.** Both top cannabis educators show the actual paper — it converts an assertion into evidence in one frame. Any beat making a research claim carries a small persistent lower-third card: `Author et al., Journal Year`. See [Citation cards](/social/scripts/production-spec#citation-cards--education-only).
</Note>

<Note>
  **Every episode ends on the catchphrase.** *"This is why I'm high."* The line is the domain, so the sign-off does the funnel work with no "link in bio." Delivered flat and sincere, never explained, never in the first three seconds. See [The Funnel](/social/funnel#the-sign-off).
</Note>

## Pack Summary

| ID        | Question                            | Runtime | Answer     | Test Variable                      |
| --------- | ----------------------------------- | ------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `HIQ-001` | Most common dominant terpene        | 25s     | Myrcene    | Baseline for the show              |
| `HIQ-002` | Strains over 30% THC                | 25s     | 11         | Shock-number payoff                |
| `HIQ-003` | Which top-10 strain is terpinolene  | 30s     | Jack Herer | Name recognition as the hook       |
| `HIQ-004` | Which cannabinoid does not bind CB1 | 25s     | CBD        | Pure science, no database          |
| `HIQ-005` | Sour Diesel's dominant terpene      | 25s     | Limonene   | Trap question — tests misdirection |

**Recurring assets:** clipboard graphic, four lettered answer cards, 7-second countdown overlay, timer tick stinger, "High IQ Regulars" closing card.

<Warning>
  **Never reveal the answer in the video.** The correct answer is pinned as a comment the next morning. That is the entire return mechanic. Breaking it once trains the audience not to come back.
</Warning>

## Production Batch Notes

* This is the **cheapest show in the library**. One character generation, one clipboard graphic, four cards, a countdown. Batch all five in a single session and schedule them across a week.
* Hold the countdown at exactly **7 seconds**, silent except the tick. The temptation to fill that silence with voiceover is strong and wrong — the pause is what converts a scroller into a participant.
* **Pin the answer every single morning without fail.** One missed pin and the return mechanic is dead; the audience learns the promise is unreliable.
* Harvest wrong answers from the comments. Each recurring wrong answer is a free explainer episode with a built-in audience that already cares about being right.
* `HIQ-005` is engineered for a comment fight. Expect people to argue. Do not argue back before the pin — let the debate run overnight, because the debate is the distribution.
