The United States Ranked by IQ

11. Wisconsin 102.9

Wisconsin’s first deed was recorded in 1783 for land bought from Native American tribes by Dominique Ducharme for the bargain price of 2 barrels of rum and some trinkets. The first nation's people thought owning land was absurd. They considered themselves custodians of the land. So, they were handing over custody not ownership to Ducharme. Both parties considered it a win. The first people were happy to get paid for the land they didn't own and Ducharme bought what is now the city of Kaukauna. Talking of wins, Wisconsin came in 10th on the list with a 102.9 average IQ.
