>Give a poor black kid a problem involving tennis scores, boom, problem. Odds of a poor black kid knowing how tennis scoring works, much less likely.

Over around 18 years of having various maths topics in schools

The only thing that required some "non-math" knowledge were cards related questions and maybe dice

but what is that tennis counting example? do they actually appear on IQ questions?

how about maths exams?

I've seen plenty of problems involving scoring in various sports. I've seen stats taught using baseball batting averages and tons of problems involving football scoring.

Oh and poker hands.

I can easily imagine an IQ test 50 years ago involving scoring in bridge games.
