New York City, our brainpower index is only 0.771. We don't even know what that number means, but according to this Portfolio study, someone in Boulder, Colorado may be able to enlighten us—their brainpower index is 3.941! Basically, Portfolio made up some silly list and put it into a stupid PDF and posted it online and it says that we aren't even in the top 25 brainiest cities in the country. We come in at #36 (of 200), behind places like Trenton, New Jersey and Provo, Utah! La la la, we're just going to ignore this sham study and go with the one that came out in October that ranked us at #10. [via the Hairpin]
