I am sorry for the topic name i should have written international competition or nations competition. i cant edit now. sorry. maybe a moderator can fix it.
Hi,
I have recently discovered your site. It is a great challenge site.
But, I suppose the statistics could have been better. For example, there could be a national success section to see how each nation is doing.
Thats just popped up in my mind. It is not a big deal to add such a statistic, but i hope it will be fun.
National Competition

Re: National Competition
I don't think that's a good idea. Nationality has no significance for problem solving.

Re: National Competition

Re: National Competition
The overwhelming majority of the top 200 come from Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Though Sweden has not so terribly many inhabitants, there are a lot of Swedes among the top ranks, far more than e.g. Japanese. Does that mean Swedes are more intelligent or talented than Japanese? No, of course not, that only signifies that the site is better known in Sweden than in Japan.

Re: National Competition
my post was not about this site actually. it was a prediction for a worldwide research.
Anyway,
I am not seeking for an intelligence measure of the nations. I mean, you ever watch Olympics. Which country took how many medals?, things like that. There was once a site in which people were clicking to make their soccer team win against the other.(although it was very dumb, it was fun!).
yeah. i think i made my point more clear. i am not a racist as you try to make me one.. and one more thing dont make dumb comments like the previous one as I can figure out such things myself.

Re: National Competition
I think im with daniel on this one. I thought it would be interesting to link countries with performance but nationality divides people. I avoid any connection with my country at all, i just happen to live there.
elasolova its not so easy to dismiss the links between sport and nationalism. Have you considered the 1936 olympic games?
