Is female, official.

The front of the September edition of Mensa Magazine* proudly boasts:

IT'S OFFICIAL! Women are the smarter sex


So it must be true then. Turning to the article things are not what they seem. The data is only true in Estonia, New Zealand and Argentina.

In Australia the sexes are equally smart.

And in USA, Canada and Western Europe men are smarter, though the gap between men and women is getting smaller.

So which is the smarter sex? The jury is still out.

If the people in Mensa are so smart, why can't they think up a more original title than Mensa magazine?
