Well, that depends on how you measured the IQ.  Current tests stall out at
what, 170?

The thing is, I don't think you *CAN* have an IQ which is both measurable and
over about 200 on a population this size; we'd need to have several *systems*
colonized, before the test could be scaled that far and have any meaning at
all, and even then, if we have more than a few of them, the IQ score will be
a lot lower as they push the curve.  :)
