        Greece went bankrupt, so spending gobbs of money upon education may not be within reason.  However, I am surprised to see them so high in spite of everything.  Also, Mongolia and Italy surprises me, being so high.

            I think there should be no surprise there about the top ten.

                  Portugal in 12? This must be old, with the way our office destroys education we should be further down.

                    You are with Slovenia and Uruguay, so perhaps it is not too old.

                      Actually what I find surprising is that Spain is above… with their universities really? Mongolia is surprising too helps breack the steriotypes.

                      Wondering exactly how they even made the list, student sampling with standart IQ test? How big was the sampling even?

                        Interesting section on how higher temperature and more inbreeding are correlated over time with lower IQs and lower temperature and more outbreeding are associated with higher IQs.
