Jennifer from Louisville, Kentucky
The city of Evansville is in Indiana, not Kentucky. The same geographical mistake is made on the map tracking the trio's possible movement. [Police track Illinois lead in Kentucky baby abduction, October 17]

CNN.com: Thank you, Jennifer. We've fixed that error.

Daniel Riley from Los Angeles, California
"50 Center" should read "50 Cent." [Rapper Fabolous in stable condition, facing charges, October 17]

CNN.com: Ouch. There goes our street cred, if ever we had it. That's fixed.

Quick thoughts on QuickVote

When a research journal study claimed that men have higher intelligence than women [Paula Zahn Now, October 10] we tossed the issue to our readers in a QuickVote question that asked which is the smarter sex. After more than 90,000 votes, women are in the lead -- but just by a hair -- with 51 percent. Several readers had more to say than the multiple-choice QuickVote could handle:

Dennis from St. Petersburg, Florida
I don't know about this report, but my girlfriend beats me to the punch on just about everything. However, those few times I win a war of wits with her, I make sure it is as glorious as possible.

Julie Wood from Omaha, Nebraska
Women are able to multi-task and utilize common sense at a higher level than men. Men are more highly encouraged to get an education which may give them better test scores but isn't necessarily indicative of intelligence. Many women still think getting married and having babies is their role and do not pursue an education which can also skew the results. But biologically speaking, I think both brains are capable of the same level of learning.

Anand from Georgetown, Guyana
I think women are overall. They have an ability to look at a problem from all sides and more importantly empathize. Men tend to look at things more black and white. Therefore women usually make a more informed decision.

Scott from Simpsonville, South Carolina
I have a hard time believing you even ask such a question. Intelligence is no more related to sex than it is to race or any other natural born demographic. We learn from our interests and exposure, not our sex.

Brad from Chicago, Illinois
This is a trick question. The word "smarter" is a generalization. Let us assume that in this scenario being "smart" pertains to the ability to apply knowledge, learned through life experience and education, in ones life. With this logic, I would say both groups have an equal number of "smart" and "not so smart" people. In addition, someone can give the perception of being a "smart" person simply through their appearance and behavior. Through these perceptions, people who dress professionally or act professionally may seem smarter than others when that is not necessarily the case.
