Do you think, age is factor intelligence or not?

I think , age is not factor of intellect. Average child intelligence is equal average adult intelligence.
Intelligence is processus reflexion and raisonnement. Yes, adult know more, but adult think no more rapidity.
The adult wins because he already knows the answer.
However, if a child and an adult are put in a labyrinth and asked the question Why is the Sun in the Universe, then the child and the adult will have to analyze the world themselves, without having ready-made knowledge.
Children can trick adults.
Children may mature before their age, such as during times of war.
And before death, the child writes wise words that are available only to older people.
Child is inferior in adult because people create age limit.
Child don t interessed in work.
Potentially child is not inferior adult.

Also, but is other question , I believe, ordinal people can become genius.

This is where i think knowledge and intelligence differ. I think knowledge is knowing enough about something to figure it out where intellect is how well they utilize and gain information. I think everything factors into intelligence because its how we utilize and absorb information. I would think knowledge is learning how to tie your shoes. Intelligence is putting on the right shoes for the right task. I think children just have way more focus and way less distraction than adultw because they arent subjected to the media yet so they are able to learn faster and think outside the box.
