Smarts

I came across an article called "The 10 Dumbest States in America." Link below. It says: "This is a list of the "smartest" and "dumbest" states in the country based on the percentage of the population with at least a bachelor's degree."

Of course, college degrees do not directly correlate to intelligence. But they're a reasonable proxy.

I'm not sure of the publication date of the article. Possibly July 2014.
