Is there really still confusion about amount of daylight when clocks are changed forward/backward?

This is a failure of the education system over the last several decades. With effort and funding, this can be fixed.

No it cannot.
Simply put we are all equal under the law...but not equal in ability...potential.
At least 10% of ANY population is ... not trainable.
Some folks have 8 cylinder engines (brain)...other have 6...4...2...1.

The problem is innate on this issue of IQ.

We maybe accommodate the problem better in Canada, but even we fall short.

I just like to hum instead of go boing boing.
I took an achievement test in 7th grade = 99th percentile.
Then in a Freshman Psych lecture class my first year of college we were guinea pigs for a new IQ test on which three of us out of 150 tied with 98th percentile. That one was all pictures and symbols, designed for illiterates. Our Prof was one of the designers and since he taught classes we became the testers. He told us that one thing they had determined was that the more literate testers were, the more likely they were to score lower than on a regular IQ test.
And in the Army in 1966 I scored 141 on the military intelligence test.
No formal IQ tests since, but I did take one of the online do-it-yourself ones while bored and half asleep, with the flu and scored 129.
