I've fixed it as appropriate.

Your linear trend'll be a bit exaggerated.

Before, the slope per year was -2.24 (minus 2.25 points a year), now the slope spits out as -0.00519 but if I'm understanding my changes right, the unit has switched from per year to per day and 365.25 times -0.005 IQ points per day is -1.896 per year.

2.25 vs 1.9 is fairly different.
