Mensa used to be the only place for bright sparks. Now a young New
Yorker is challenging the old guard of the IQ world - and turning his

You may not recognise the name Andrew Nierman, but he is the World's
Smartest Person, a title bestowed upon him earlier this year by the
International High IQ Society, after he correctly answered 22 out of
25 questions in the Haselbauer-Dickheiser Test for Exceptional
Intelligence. Among the things he knew was the maximum number of
one-inch diameter spheres that can be packed into a box 10 inches
square and five inches deep. He also knew how many pieces a doughnut
can be cut into using three simultaneous plane cuts, and he determined
the breeding strategies of the Furble, both dominator and sharer
types, while analysing their territorial habits and attitudes with
particular regard to bravery and cautiousness.
