What sort of a question is that?

Define smarter? Do you mean intellectually or Emotionally? Are these children related? Are they the same gender?

Any of the above would effect the argument and then it would still be impossible to say.

If you took two boys, with the same balanced upbringing and both with a keen interest in studying then technically the 10 year old SHOULD be further ahead in their schooling and should therefore be smarter.

But...

... since intelligence is often linked to genetic potential, it is quite possible that the 8 year old could out-test the 10 year old by a significant margin.

Some sort of answer then...

The other would simply be... How long is a piece of string!?
