    Since it is an American list it would be unfair for me to comment further.

    St. Louis is number 35, but the city schools here are in need of major overhaul. They most likely don't include St. Louis County schools since the County is its own city technically, which screws up a lot of statistics. Also, a lot of city students will actually come out to the county for school, another lurking variable.

    Overall I'm not surprised though, we're not to smart. Missouri overall tends to be above the national average a good bit whenever I looked at my ACT or PSAT scores though.

    I live in Peoria, IL, which isn't on the list. Neither is Bartonville, which is 5 minutes away from my house and where I work and went to high school. The closest city to me that's on the list is Chicago (#11) which is about a 2.5 hour drive.

    This list is bull because they picked Durham as the representative for Research Triangle Park in NC. Raleigh, the state capital, is a much bigger city (Charlotte is the biggest.)

    As of 2006 44.9% of people in Raleigh have a bachelor's degree or higher.

    Only 37.4% of people living in Minneapolis have a bachelor's degree. Suck on that, everybody! Raleigh NC gets an A+++ and a check mark.

    (I used this using quickfacts.census.gov, because I am smarter than you.)

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    If this list is bull, does that mean the city I live so close to isn't so stupid after all? Not that I don't disagree of course, the school system is horrible here.

    I was just in Peoria over spring break! It's kinda big, but still, I might've seen you and not have known xD

    I'm between Kansas City and St. Louis, so I'll just take the higher one. I used to live an hour away from San Fransisco, so that makes me happy.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    I don't live in America so I can't tell. Did they really get the IQ statistics of all those cities?
