Factoids and Statistics on Skill Gaining

I've seen this exhibited on the progress bar that shows up while writing a novel. I don't particularly think that there are any skills to be gained from that.
Creativity, if the sim isn't maxed out.
Flamingo:
Well, he was maxed out in this case. Haha, I had no idea. I've always thought that they never gained anything by writing novels, except the profit at the end.
Faizah:
Does the autumn leaves effect around progress bars - for building robots and writing novels with maxed creativity - perhaps indicate that the progress is faster than in other seasons? Just a theory...
J. M. Pescado:
No, in most cases the autumn leaves effect is purely a canned graphical addon that afflicts all progress bars, regardless of whether or not they benefit from any associated bonus.

Note the rates listed below can be modified by personality affinity, and a sim receives +100% learning rate while wearing a thinking cap, and +200% while under the influence of smart milk. Smart milk can normally only affect toddlers, but the attribute can become "stuck" randomly and result in children learning at accelerated rates. This tends to go away when you wear a TC, which also affects the attribute and thus clears the stuckage.
Does Fall clear the stuckage? I like the stuckage, resembles theories of learning during early childhood increasing the ability to learn later. If I never ever put a sim with stuckage in a thinking cap, should it stay even in fall or with teaching on a career reward? Resetting a sim will remove it, so that would include patches and hacks that affect globlas, right? In other words, what all exactly can clear the stuckage? Is there a list?

Strictly speaking, you can't actually have the Gold Book until it's way too late anyway. You'd need to actually do the Edumacation career, unless you cheat for it, and therefore you'd likely max out well before you were even allowed to try.
A parent could do that career and earn the bookcase, in which case the children could carry it to Uni in their inventory. No cheat required. :D
See: "You'd need to actually do the career". If you've done the career, you are either A: Not in Uni, or B: Not Gen0. In either case, this makes it much too late to be hauling things to Uni for skillpoints! I suppose in a truly sadistic case you could have a child who doesn't need it haul it to Uni and leave it there as a donation, but that's just convoluted.
That's the whole theory behind my knowledge sim fraternity (co-ed, my only co-ed uni fraternity/sorority). Any sim is welcome, as long as they bring a career reward to donate to the household. In return, they receive training from the seniors maxed in the skill of their choice. If the career rewards in their parent's chosen field already exists at the fraternity, they are welcome if they are willing to provide training to others. Then again I have the warped idea that sim kids and teens should spend time playing and only require that they earn at least 5 in cooking and 2 in mechanical, with a little more occasionally. Maybe some charisma from the toddler bunny. Then when they go to Uni there is actually something for them to do rather than just throw waterbaloons and wait for the final.
