  Couple of possible reasons of the drop off at the 95% mark could be kids feeling entitled and so they didn't work as hard as they needed to. Maybe they saw money does buy happiness so they rejected the whole game to "find themselves". Just couple ideas not mentioned in the article. Obviously, I'm sure it's multiple contributing factors.

  Isn't this to be expected, given the heritability of IQ?
