On tonights BBC Test The Nation Sheffield topped the poll as the most intelligent city in the UK, beating by a mile the likes of Manchester!

Well done anyone who took part and a further well done to anyone who sat through the risible performance of Anne Robinson struggling with the autocue.

Yeah I noticed that - well done. It's good because I seem to remember last time they didn't even list Sheffield as one of the cities.

Isn't it just because people in other cities have more interesting things to do than watch Anne Robinson and Phillip Schofield?

"Most Intelligent City in the UK" !?!

That's not what they said! Simply remembering useless facts from throughout the year doesn't mean you're intelligent! :P

(But then maybe I'm just bitter cos I only got 38 out of 70... :D ?)

I got 59 out of 70

Language 12/12
Memory 11/12
Logic 15/22
Numbers 11/12
Perception 10/12

It would have been higher if it wasn't for the Police / Fire engines / Ambulances driving up Division Street yesterday with the klaxons on, ruining my concentration :mad:

I'm especially delighted with the memory score. 11/12 isn't bad, when I though I was losing my mind quite recently.

It's my two boys...what little of my hair that hasn't fallen out is rapidly turning grey :loopy:

Tried to take the online test, but it didn't even list sheffield as a city. I thought it was like the 4th largest perhaps the web designer needs an IQ test?
