It doesn't have to be an ongoing assessment. Once every 7 years should do it.

You're right Chompy, He'll be one of the first

If you kill the bottom 75% of the population every 7 years how many years would it take to have less than 1% of the original population?

That is partly dependant on the rate of reproduction of the remaining populace
would you take into account the fact that thick people breed like rabbits because they don't understand where babies come from?

I reckon it would still do by the third cull though.

You would need at least 4 to get below 1% even if there were no breeding at all.
100*0.25=25
25*0.25=6.25
6.25*0.25=1.5
1.5*0.25=0.4

Did you allow for inflation?

No, I already said that.
Taking breeding into account would be really hard since you would need to know how IQ is distributed through populations as you might end up culling a lot of your breeding stock in the first wave which could leave you unable to recover your population.

I don't think any normal person let alone smart person would want to bring a child into a world where they have a astonishingly high chance of being culled.
