Brainy battle of the sexes finally ends: Women are smarter than men​

London, Feb 24 (ANI): The battle of the sexes is finally over - and it's bad news for the guys. According to the results of an unscientific experiment of a game of Trivial Pursuit, women are smarter than men.

Five months ago, makers of the game had organized an online version that took place on a global scale, in nine languages and saw some 15,121,731 questions asked and answered.

The battle was conducted in English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.

To clamp down on cheating, there was a 20-second time limit on answering the multiple-choice questions, reports The Daily Express.

The balance of power shifted repeatedly between the sexes, which were sometimes just a few correct answers apart, but ended with the women clinching victory. They correctly answered 4,088,139 compared to 4,077,596 by the men.

In the game, online players were able to select the category of question that appealed to their "inner genius", or the areas where they thought they would have the most success.

The most questions were selected from the entertainment category, followed by science and nature, sports and leisure, history, arts and literature, geography and people and places.

Women had the highest success rate in the categories of entertainment (56.8 per cent) and science and nature (54.4 per cent), but answered just 41.7 per cent correctly when questions concerned the people and places category.

Men's best categories were science and nature (57 per cent correct answers), entertainment (56.7 per cent), and sports and leisure (54.8 per cent). They performed the poorest when answering geography and people and places questions, with only 49.9 per cent answered correctly.

Katreena Lines, global senior marketing manager of Trivial Pursuit, said: "The online battle of the sexes experiment invited people worldwide to compete for the ultimate bragging rights - to be a member of the smartest team.

"The online experience invited everyone to show off their inner genius, by answering 1, 10 or 100 questions a day, in support of their team. Our congratulations to the women who fought hard for the win." (ANI)

the results of an unscientific experiment of a game

That kinda says it all doesn't it?

The problem with this "unscientific" study is that there was no tangible reward for getting a correct answer. Men will play for money, women, food and/or beer ... otherwise they won't try very hard.

...According to the results of an unscientific experiment...

How do you even design an unscientific experiment?

The lengths people would go to denude their statement or result of any shred of credibility...

"The Stepford Wives" aaaaaaaaaaaaa the world be so fun , just joking

Judging by the numbers women are approx 1.0026 times smarter than men.

Does this experiment even have 1% accuracy?
My conclusion is that both sexes are about the same, and if women on average are really 0.26% smarter than men, well I wouldn't really mind that being true.

Medias are unscientific these days

1. The definition of "smarter" is really lost on some people. It's called being intelligent in this case, not smart.
2. The fact that entertainment/celebrities are being used to determine intelligence really shows where the society (western) is going. Obviously women are more interested in this stuff, so they will know that stuff. Methinks this experiment was designed to show that women are more intelligent, and the questions chosen accordingly. This is seems to be more about knowing trivial things ("trivial pursuit" as the article puts it), not actual intelligence. It's not for no reason men dominate science and still today make all the developments and inventions. I'd say men are more intelligent. And things that should really determine intelligence is dominated by men. This is significant considering how much educations systems around the world have changed to pander to women.

We get these kinds of "research" results published every now and then in our free commuter rags in Australia. These "studies" are intended for discussion in pubs, schoolyards and commuter trains, not scientific journals.

Neeey....Jana wont let us down, she will proove this theory wrong in no time.

Please keep your personal feuds to yourself.

Indians ganging up and throwing tantrums against anyone who challenges them is getting tiresome.

Badmouthing people behind their back is bad manners.
Most people get it; some never will.
