The smartest person in the country is a Hamilton Tiger-Cat.

At least, according to a CBC contest that aired Sunday night.

Ticats guard Peter Dyakowski came out on top at the end of CBC Television special Canada's Smartest Person after competing as one of four finalists.

Dyakowski, 27, has a Mensa-level IQ and led all athletes' scores in the CBC's Test the Nation show last year.

The 6-foot-5 football player says he got booted out of the gifted stream at his elementary school in Vancouver but made the South East Conference honour roll when he played at Louisiana State University.

The two-hour CBC Television show aimed to show there is more to intelligence than having a high IQ.

Canadians nominated themselves — or people they knew — last year and the show's producers selected four contestants after conducting interviews and tests based on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

The competitors included spoken word poet Greg Frankson, student and gamer Laura Suen and high school science teacher Dr. Marshall Carroll.
