eighth, behind Sweden (104), Italy (102), Austria (101) and Switzerland
(101).

The Dutch are also the tallest people on the earth (bar the Masai). Maybe the higher altitude with the lower air pressure and temperature helps develop the intellect?

Alternatively, have the Dutch perhaps been secretly practising selective infanticide on the children of thickos - remember abortion has been actively encouraged in Holland for longer than in most of Europe.

I mention the last because we were discussing a Yank here recently who got into trouble when making comments linking abortion and intelligence.
