Tied for 9th place? I sincerely doubt that we are that high. We are probably closer to Turkey at 17. The US does have a disproportionate share of extremely bright people but unfortunately, that is countered by the largest population of complete morons to be found anywhere in the world - and we have "cleverly" developed technologies to further our "dumbness" with each passing day (ex. television, our education system, our pay for failure culture, the internet . . .) On second thought, maybe we are closer to Columbia at 23?
