Hull.
Hull has been named as the stupidest place in Britain.
It is also the poorest and cheapest to live, according to a survey by Men's Health magazine.
In contrast, Edinburgh is named as the cleverest city.
The survey took into account factors like exam results, the number of residents who studied at university level and performance in BBC IQ quiz Test The Nation.
Stoke and Liverpool are the next dumbest places, while Manchester is the rudest but best-dressed.
Stoke is the worst-dressed and Glasgow both the most drunken and most dangerous.
Hull MP John Prescott

The survey also lists Liverpool as having the best sense of humour and Cardiff as being the most polite.
However, Hull residents might be forgiven for feeling a bit hard done by.
Although they elected disaster-prone Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott as an MP, the city is also famous as the home of poets Philip Larkin and Andrew Marvell.
:: The top 10 stupidest places in Britain are:
1. Hull
2. Stoke
3. Liverpool
4. Bradford
5. Glasgow
6. Wolverhampton
7. Newcastle
8. Nottingham
9. Leicester
10. Birmingham

Glasgow might very well be the most drunken and stupid.
I still don't know where they get this dangerous rubbish though.

If you measure outright academic success of residents then Liverpool doesn't fare well. A lot of people come to Liverpool to be educated though. If you also consider so-called 'distance travelled' measurements which are about how well you do compared with where you come in at, it also does considerable better than many Southern cities.
Basically education in the city is doing more to take people further than, for example towns which are not so deprived, but whose results are also not hugely impressive.
