US Wins Math Olympiad For First Time In 21 Years

In one of this year's most intense international competitions, the United States has come out as best in the world — and this time, we're not talking about soccer.

This week, the top-ranked math students from high schools around the country went head-to-head with competitors from more than 100 countries at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And, for the first time in more than two decades, they won.

Multiculturalism indeed!!! Looks like a Benetton ad!!!

Although.....

Hmmm...... 

Wait a sec........

Not seeing very many D'Brickashaws or Ja'Tyrells in this diverse group of scholastically gifted Americans....

Can't understand why.......

Since they are all American citizens my guess would be zero.

I came up with that answer, but only because I think when I type.
