The "Washington Post" just ranked all 50 states from smartest to dumbest. I would hate to be on the bottom of the list. But being in the top 5 brings along some bragging rights....if you're from a state where bragging is okay.

But since bragging isn't taken to very kindly here in Minnesota, we'll just have to politely say thank you.  We came in 2nd, right behind Massachusetts.

The rankings were based on four factors: average I.Q. scores, SAT and ACT scores this year, and percentage of college grads.

Some of the states on the bottom of the list might surprise you. Hawaii came in last.  Click here for the full list.
