hmm, thats not a very long answer ... its supposed to be a "very hard" math problem so I decided to take a look. And yes before someone asks I am trying to improve my IQ.
I was probably wrong anyway after all that.
I read this and I felt that it deserved a response. It is not possible to 'increase your IQ,' but it is possible to increase your intelligence. I've noticed over the years that there is an increasing number of people who don't really understand what an IQ implies. An IQ is a measure of one's ability to learn something. A low IQ score would not necessarily imply that you are stupid, rather it would imply that you pick up things slower than others. You can know more than someone and have a lower IQ, after all, what you do with the brain you have is what really matters. An example of an IQ being used in the real world is assessing a student for special needs education.
Doing these math problems would be beneficial to you I agree, but not because of IQ as you suggested, but because it would help your ability to recognize patterns. Chess is patterns, math is patterns, chess == math, therefore knowing patterns is very beneficial to math practice. Pattern recognition is how computer chess players work as they analyze every move.
Maybe, this will come as a shock, but your IQ is something that never changes no matter how hard you try. The good news is you will be a much smarter person for all of your effort to increase your IQ!
I mean no harm or disrespect in my post! My hats off to you for your attempt at the math problem.
I would disagree, if you take the right vitamins your temporal IQ should increase, you have different physical states, the state when you are malnourished and the state where you have all the vitamins are the most obvious examples, (drunken state, drugged state?). So there is no test that can really measure your IQ if your Quotient is dependent on nutrition and (lack of) drug exposure.
So for bevity "temporal IQ" in this case means "Your IQ at the moment" or "how well you can potentially solve problems in your current state of fitness".
I am always good in tests however my chess skill isn't as great as I would like it to be, perhaps I would need much more knowledge, or perhaps it is simply too hardcore.
I would tend to disagree with you on this "temporal IQ". now a "drugged state/drunken state" can permanently alter the brain. while it is correct that a healthy diet has a high probability of maintaining a healthy brain and,therefore, an IQ. A healthy diet does not guarantee this.
Knowledge and intelligence, as taken in the context of IQ, are often misunderstood. IQ is much like a persons height. It peaks at a certain age and slowly declines. How it gets there, and when it gets there are determined by many factors. How it declines also has many factors. Knowledge on the other hand is simply what you know at a given time.
As of right now, there is no known way to increase your IQ, short of the theoretical implanting of biocomputers.
Just like being stoned doesn't change your height it doesn't change your IQ. I am saying if something causes you to hunch over for a couple of days that is not actually your height and any good doctor would notice this. On the other hand, if something causes the deteriation of your bones and you "shrink" 4cm than that is your new height short of getting an implant.

Of course your IQ can change. All I can say without having to cite a study is that our IQ changes as we age.
