Mega smart man

Garth Zietsman (46) of Johannesburg, is the second smartest man in the world. The statistics analyst at Standard Bank scored 185 on the Mega Test - an exclusive club for the cleverest around. Mega Test was designed by Ron Hoeflin who wanted a club in which only one in a million were accepted. Garth's score of 185 is second only to Marilyn von Savant, the woman whose high IQ earned her a place in Guinness World Records. During his national service he got together with a group of philosophy master's students. Next, he joined Mensa, a club for the smartest two percent of the population, and then joined the exclusive International Society for Philosophical Inquiry. Garth listens to rap music and opera, and his favourite books are about religion, maths, science, diets and psychology.
