	Your source only includes OECD countries (West Europe, USA/Canada, Japan, Aus/NZ) in its ranking. So, this list may actually be missing countries like China, Brazil, South Africa, Russia, India, etc that definitely have more foreign students than, say, Iceland. Either change the name of the quiz or find a proper source.

	Wow, there are only 2 foreign students in the UK?

	This quiz might be more interesting if you listed the number of foreign students in a column next to each country.

	Why is everyone voting down indianwolf1992's comment? He is absolutely correct. OECD encompasses only 34 of the world's 195 countries. This quiz is just asking to name the majority of OECD countries. They do not collect data from other countries. You cannot use OECD data as a source unless the quiz is "Name the 34 member states of the OECD."

	@bsd987 China and Russia are included and they are not OECD members. And to respond to Indianwolf1992, although I'm not entirely sure of South Africa or India, I know for a fact that Brazil has a very low number of foreign students, in fact there has never been a Brazilian college featured in the top 200 of Times Higher Education World Ranking. http://www.observatoriousp.pro.br/universities-in-brazil-are-too-closed-to-the-world-and-thats-bad-for-innovation/ I think the quiz, while it may not be entirely accurate is probably the best you'll get because there doesn't seem to be any sources for India or South Africa.

	Perhaps I'm misreading the source, but there doesn't seem to be any data available for China, so I'm unclear as to how China was included in the quiz. And @Yokiyoshi, while Brazil's universities might not be ranked very highly by a foreign publication, it's not hard to imagine that Brazil (and India too) would have more foreign students than the 5,197 non-resident students listed for the Slovak Republic. I agree with Indianwolf that the quiz should be retitled to reflect the scope of the source.

	Hey sorry for the late reply, yeah I apologize this quiz is definitely lacking a definitive source for it to be a true 'worldwide' quiz. I have several sources for China, however the numbers range from 190,000 - 240,000 so I'm not sure how reliable they are. Also another problem with the quiz is that certain countries within the OECD did not give all of the necessary information and so they had to be omitted(France) I cannot find any sources on India or Brazil. I'm torn on what to do because I would echo Yokiyoshi's sentiments that this is probably as good as you would get because the information for India and Brazil may not be available, but on the other hand the quiz title is misleading and therefore I suppose I should change it...

	@Gadegtron: That sounds like the right compromise. Maybe edit the title to say, 'countries of the OECD with most foreign students'? And Yokiyoshi, well, I just guessed Brazil, but India and S.Africa definitely have a lot of foreign students from their respective regions. Virtually the whole of Africa that can afford it studies in South Africa, and the same for South Asia in India.

	Gadgetron:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 13:17 GMT	1 point
	Yeah ok I've changed the name to 'OECD members only' and I took out China and Russia.
