[QUOTE=BloodYScar;34510633]USA in there while germany is not? ha.ha.ha.[/QUOTE] Germany has a strong focus specialised secondary school education and pretty stringent requirements for secondary. So yes, it's possible germany won't be there.

You guys know the United States is an economic hegemon, right?

Well I know people are going to jump on me for this, but the United States has so many more people than other nations, we do have the [I]most[/I] educated people, but not per capita.

[QUOTE=crackberry;34516750]Well I know people are going to jump on me for this, but the United States has so many more people than other nations, we do have the [I]most[/I] educated people, but not per capita.[/QUOTE] That's true, but people in this thread seem to be confused by the headline which states "most educated", because it can mean that they actually are more educated but can also mean that they just have a higher number of people who finished tertiary education, which is the case here. But as you know most people only read the headline and post.

[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;34517168]Yeah, Hong Kong wins that one [img]http://www.longcountdown.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/iq.gif[/img][/QUOTE] South Korea does. Hong Kong is a part of China, if you'd list the smartest city of every country THEN it would be fair and I'm sure Hong Kong wouldn't "win" then.

[QUOTE=Firewarrior;34517349]South Korea does. Hong Kong is a part of China, if you'd list the smartest city of every country THEN it would be fair and I'm sure Hong Kong wouldn't "win" then.[/QUOTE] Hong Kong is basically sovereign, that's why they're listed separately.

[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;34517369]Hong Kong is basically sovereign, that's why they're listed separately.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's right, but in my opinion it still is a bit unfair. Whatever, the thread isn't about IQ estimations, right?

So I was thinking... What if we made an education system, that works really well, [b]and[/b] is easy. I mean, then everybody would be smart... Right?

[QUOTE=AeroSinthetic;34517946]So I was thinking... What if we made an education system, that works really well, [b]and[/b] is easy. I mean, then everybody would be smart... Right?[/QUOTE] so i'm thinking.. what education did you follow?

[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;34517168]Yeah, Hong Kong wins that one [img]http://www.longcountdown.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/iq.gif[/img][/QUOTE] US and Norway tied. Haha, oh wow. I thought Norway was supposed to be the 2nd best place to live in the world (speaking of which, where is Luxembourg on that list?). And I thought the US was a swirling pit of bigots and idiots?

The sheer amount of people who didn't even take the time to read the most basic parts of the OP in this thread is unbelievable. I want to experiment with this more often, and try to make people draw completely false conclusions because they didn't read the OP.
