Working with a pair of them today they are very intelligent. They have spoken about why they moved to the USA. Work! There is a surplus of very brilliant people and each year the universities are pumping out a new batch. They have a great work ethic, in that they work on Fri. night, and don't party like we Americans. Sat. they are up early working on their side projects to get better.
