I was surprised Boston wasn't #1. I had no clue that had more than 100 post-secondary schools. I knew they had a lot, I was thinking more in the 20s, not 100s.

Raleigh-Durham has just about every intangible useful in attracting and developing a smart populace: It’s a university hub, including two of the nation’s elite schools (Duke and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), and those schools led to one of the nation’s great technology incubators (Research Triangle).
No one ever gives any love to cow school. Poor Wolfpack.

I'm not buying this at all. Any place that thinks vinegary BBQ is great has to have questionable intelligence.

Also, they had oakland as part of San Fran, which either actual San Fran residents are a million times smarter than I ever remember, or Oakland wasnt part of those test results. Having Oakland on there makes them lose all credibility with me

Its because your finite mind cannot fathom the greatness of eastern NC BBQ. It is an effort in futility for you to try.

#7 (tie), WASHINGTON, DC
Metro Area Population: 5,358,130
Daily Beast IQ Score: 151
With an egghead-in-chief occupying the biggest house in town, the nation’s capital seems to be enjoying an intellectual renaissance.
uh. ok.
that pretty much killed my interest.
not to mention the majority of the top ten "cities" aren't actually cities, but areas.
+ Philly: 11th? riiiight. The city is broke and completely corrupted.
