I have come to the conclusion that some Greek Cypriots – unbeknown even to themselves – have Nazi Mongoloid blood, maybe inherited from their aunty Oracle's side of the family. This severely affects their intelligence.
To test this theory I have come up with the following IQ test which is open only to GCs. Post your answers and I will be happy to work out your IQ and whether you have such unfortunate descent.
Best of luck.
