Go USA! Math.

[ClydeR]

The USA math team won first in the world in a competition held in China. Let me repeat.. US kids won a math contest held in Asia.


The United States has won the 57th International Mathematical Olympiad, the world’s most prestigious problem-solving competition for high school students.

The competition, held July 6-16 in Hong Kong, included teams from over 100 countries. The winning U.S. team score was 214 out of a possible 252, ahead of the Republic of Korea (207) and China (204). Rounding out the top ten were Singapore (196), Taiwan (175), North Korea (168), Russian Federation (165), United Kingdom (165), Hong Kong (161) and Japan (156).

I don't know why people act so surprised. America produces some of the smartest and brightest people in the entire world.

The problem is we have a bunch of knuckle dragging morons that we have to literally force to go to school who would rather do anything but learn and their scores bring down the US' averages.

Besides the US kids were probably still Asian.

Commonly referred to as the "trash" of the US. Be they White, Brown, Black, or Yellow.
