If there was ever a question that could be described as “age old”, it would have to be, “Which is the smarter sex?”

If you’ve ever become embroiled a debate about this question, you’ll know that there is no possible way to convince a member of the opposite sex of your superior smarts.

Now Hasbro, the company responsible for family board-game favourite Trivial Pursuit, has gone online to see if females or males can confidently say they are the smarter sex, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.

“Trivial Pursuit wanted to conduct an experiment to see if trivia can answer the age-old question,” said senior brand manager Hayden West.

“We’re not taking sides, just providing the platform to watch this battle play out. Can you afford not to take part?”

Australians might find some of the questions a little too British, but as with the board version of the game, the multiple-choice format makes it a little easier.

Before you try logging on as a member of the opposite sex to sabotage their score, you should know points are not deducted for incorrect answers, they only compile for correct ones.

As of October 26, 2009, the scoreboard has the ladies ahead by almost 10,000 points.

But could it be that rather than proving the smarter sex, this game could merely show which sex spends more time playing the game? What do you think?

Your say: which do you think is the smarter sex? Why? Do you think this is an effective way of measuring intelligence? Share your thoughts with us below.
