| @zifyoip: A few brilliant individuals is a very different thing from a generally educated population... to take an extreme example, Russia in the 1800's produced a few brilliant writers, but had a huge illiterate working class. From what I've heard about (ex-)Soviet and eastern European maths education, it was designed more to inspire the brilliant ones than to be generally useful to everybody. That said, the source is quite flawed, since it only has date from 27 countries — hardly enough to give a top 20! (As was pointed out when someone else did this quiz a while ago, iirc.) |
