Asian countries rank top in the 2015 -56th International Mathematical Olympiad

[Bussard Ramjet]

Pretty much BSing!

Why?

105>>>>>>>>>>>>>>82, rings the bell?

IQ scores have a positive correlation with SocioEconomic factors.

So if you adjust IQ scores for socioeconomic factors, the result would largely be the same.

But would the reasoning get to your head, given it seems apparent that you fall on quite the far left side of the bell curve.

Why Hong Kong and Taiwan are not on top? I thought Han are smart.

@Nihonjin1051 see the response above me from that sad Vietcong?
Why isn't Japan on top? Japanese not smart?

 

[DaiViet]

Why Singapore did better than Hong Kong? HongKong are pure han while Singapore are not. The two countries population relative equals.

Chinese and Asians are smarter than Indians.
This is a scientifically proven fact.

You do realize that Indians are also Asians? Right?

Also, prove it scientifically. Prove your statement, that "Chinese are smarter than Indians."

Lets have some hardcore logical fight here.

First define, precisely the word "Smart."

Second, define precisely the word "Chinese" and "Indians."

Then start.

Just so that you don't fall into usual traps. You have to prove that an average Chinese is smarter than an average Indian, with all other things being equal.

Concentrate first on making sure that all things are indeed equal.

Second, make sure that you prove smartness. Not some test.

Shit. China lost the No.1

 

[terranMarine]

Shit. China lost the No.1

Don't worry, China will get the #1 again. Here's the result over the years.

You know what @AndrewJin @Shotgunner51 @Edison Chen

USA ranked first in the Competition, with 5 gold medals. Of the 5 gold medals, 2 were to Chinese, and 1 to an Indian. That is 3 medals were to very recent immigrants (even their names are traditional Chinese and Indians, and not westernized names)

If you will ask the Chinese-American what they are, it is highly probable they will reply that they are just Americans.

This is the power of soft power, and being a magnet for human capital in the world.

Well yes, US always has the unique advantage as a multi-ethnic country, and a global talent magnet, so it isn't surprising to see it performing say in IMO or Summer Olympics or many other fields.

In the brain drain thread we already discussed on the issue, that US is pulling high IQ talents from East Asia. I am optimistic that China, like other East Asian countries, can successfully reduce through putting up the right efforts.

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the world championship mathematics competition for high school students and is held annually in a different country. The first IMO was held in 1959 in Romania, with 7 countries participating. This year 104 countries participated.

The contest took place in Chiang Mai‚ Thailand‚ from July 4-16‚ with teams from 104 countries participating.

America scored five gold medals and one silver medal‚ making them the overall winner. In second place was the Peoples Republic of China and in third place the Republic of Korea. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Vietnam rounded out the top five countries.

Good job Thailand ! Beating Taiwan and Japan Chinese PDF users must be so disappointed that Vietnam rank at the top. And USA also had Asians on their team.

You must be disappointed that China as usual is higher ranked than your poor Vietnam.

 

[xunzi]

Shit. China lost the No.1

It is good to see good competition. Winning every years become boring and not as excited for us. -< lack of motivation.

Not really I just like to see their reaction. Philippines at 36, 2 silver 2 bronze

The Thailand team must be mainly consisted of ethnic Chinese in Thailand (a bit like US, Australia, Canada , Singapore teams)


That's why Thailand beat Taiwan and Japan.

Are you implying that Thailand only won because of Thai Chinese. How about Vietnam and North Korea one of the poorest in Asia beats Singapore and Taiwan also more develop and ethnically Han Chinese

Indians are not Asians, I still remember when I registered for US driver's license, have to fill in the races, white, black, Asian, Hispanic, and Indian.....my real experience. At least in the us, you Indians are not Asians

I like your response

I like your response

Indian in this sense probably means Amerindian.

What happened t0 Japan?

 

[Beast]

Which clearly most Chinese don't agree with, for they generally fall over their heads, to get US visas, even citizenship.

They go there as Spies. Grab as much resources and knowledge in USA before repaying the motherland

Why Taiwain is not on the top? I thought Taiwainese are Han, and all Han Chinese are superior in everything
Why we Viet in top 5, I heard Chinese often said that Viet are monkies, dark skin and inferiror than them. Why we out performed superior Han Taiwan?

I just cant understand Chinese logics. Does anyone understand them?

You are so smart to compare yourself to taiwan. You don't dare to compare to China who bagged 2nd place? or you think China is no Han but vietnamese?

True , but you do know India suffers a worse brain drain. In every big cities in North America there are many Indian immigrants with Phd, former medical doctors, and engineers from India driving taxis for a living.
