Which city has the highest average IQ?


hong-kong-island-half-day-tour-in-hong-kong-114439.jpg


Hong Kong ...
There are a lot of factors that affect an IQ score, ranging from national and personal wealth, to simply what test is used.
As a result, these findings are highly controversial, but suggest that Hong Kong has the highest IQ level,
at an average of 107 points per person.
*However, Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China,
meaning that it falls within the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China,
yet does not form part of Mainland China, because it has it's own government.
So these results are questionable.

Which foreign city is the world's most well-connected one for internet use ?

Seoul-at-night-South-Korea.jpg


Seoul, South Korea
Surprisingly, despite China's 618 million internet users who spend an average of 18.7 hours a week surfing the net,
China didn't even make the top 10 for internet connection.
Seoul, South Korea is a different story considering the average connection speed, availability,
(including free access), openness to innovation, support of public data, and privacy/security,
Seoul, South Korea is the champion of internet-connectedness.
With 10,000 government supported free WiFi spots dotting the city,
and an internet speed that goes unchallenged globally, Seoul is an internet junkie's paradise.
