Best stats

I gave swedish top students a test; to pick the country with the highest mortality in each pair out of five pairs. They were right on average 1.8 out of 5. I was happy. It was obvious they needed my course and i had what to teach them.

But then i really realized my discovery.

I have shown that swedish top students know statistically less about the world than chimpanzees.

I also did a test with the professors there - you know, the ones who give out the Nobel Prizes - and they're on par with the chimpanzees there...

Out of 5

Swedish students           average   1.8

Chimpanzees                average   2.5 
Professors                 average   2.4
