La Griffe du Lion

- clever! He seems to specialise in the places where math, science, race, and politics bump into one another. For example,

I mulled over this problem for several days, until one morning, as Mom packed my lunch for school, the answer struck me suddenly. In the former Soviet Union, the confluence of a failed economic system, totalitarian government and a specific national passion created a circumstance singularly suited to the determination of the Ashkenazic IQ. Out of this joyless society materialized the data required for the calculation. The Soviets had fashioned a threshold that met all the conditions I had imposed, to wit: eligibility to play in the annual USSR Chess Championships.

Thanks to Mr. Reed for the suggestion.
