What kind of intelligence and how heavily weighted are the lines of logic? And what age?
Scientifically speaking, it has been proven that men develop better math and spacial sense than women upon puberty, while females originally had the high-end of the spectrum on math before puberty. Women are known for their better language and dexterity skills to work with communications and literature.
You say the whole world. I suppose I have to keep in mind the drastic differences in education in different parts of the world, where much of Asia is highly educated and has a very disciplinary work ethic for their children to study hard and participate frequently. In North America, however, the work ethic is much lower, for some reason society tells youth that they have to rebel and defy authorities whether they like to or not in a much stronger sense than other continents.
I would say an adult Asian male would win overall intelligence. Reason being men are more driven towards the technical aspects of the world, including sciences, maths, technologies, businesses, and are forced to immerse themselves in these solid arguments. Women, on the other hand, who have a higher hand at communications would not do as well in an IQ test because an IQ test tests the knowledge on questions with solid answers, rather than abstract, explorable answers. Women think more abstractly, while men, more solidly and IQ tests reach further into that than any abstract thoughts. Besides, according to societal norms and the change in society, women are still struggling in things such as the work force, which leaves them with limited choices for positions of work. While women can definitely do what men do, men now have the upper hand of solid logistics in their fields as well as being forced to master communications to thrive in society and women are given less a chance, it seems, to fall into these places, have these experiences and opportunities, and learn these new techniques and lessons on weaker areas of study. And of course, I've already mentioned the working ethic in Asia and how it's so much higher, so the children are forced to work harder and longer to become successful.

It would be women if the group chosen was of 50 men and 50 women who had both been to the same educational institutions for the same amount of time, as women are more thoughtful. However, if it was everyone in the world whose intelligence was tested, men would win as there are still many countries that don't allow women to be educated.

In the end, nobody's smarter. As men and women, we've all had exceptionally smart moments in our lives, and regrettably foolish ones. I don' t believe there's a man or woman alive who has not been exploited by someone of the opposite sex, whether emotionally or otherwise. The people who've figured out that the life is not a battle of the sexes, have the real smarts.

All I know is a woman is raped every 6 minutes in the US. Who does it? A woman? No. It's a man. Is that a smart thing? Um...no. A man does the raping 99% of the time.
That's not smart. My bet's on a woman. She is less negative on society as a whole.

If the WHOLE WORLD, I have to sadly tell you men and women are not equal yet. In many third world countries, women are far less educated than men, especially in Africa and the Middle East where women are mostly illiterate. Certainly IQ does not have much to do with education, but education does make a smart person smarter.

That is a hard question to answer because it actually depends on the person. There are dumb men and then there are also dumb women. Therefore, it depends on the individual not the sex! :-)

Women think with their heads rather than their peckers, so it's not really fair because they have a big advantage there.

both think differently but in the end i think women think deeper, for example, how many men out there know EVERYTHING about ladies, we have our own secret language and everything.
