Anyone who underestimates the intellect of Hungarians is a fool.

Many of the top scientists who built the atomic — and then hydrogen — bombs were Hungarians.

They are some of the smartest people on Earth.

*They are some of the smartest people on Earth. *

Dig their goulash.

Oh yes they ARE and so are the American descendants of Hungarians! :-)

Nothing against Hungarian Christians, but the people you refer to were Hungarian Jews. The smartest one, John von Neumann, was extraordinarily brilliant. One of these smart Hungarian Jews, Leo Szilard, joked that they were actually from the planet Mars, and the name Martians stuck. John von Neumann’s daughter, Marina von Neumann Whitman entitled her autobiography “The Martian’s Daughter”.
