Comment on In the Olympics of Algorithms, a Russian Keeps Winning Goldparent

Comments

That's sad. I've had nothing but positive experiences working with Russians (both in the US and working with some remotely).

This is possibly both racist (nationalist/) and anecdotal, but I've noticed that russian programmers think more like their US counterparts than some other ethnic groups that were educated in their home countries...

The current high school level in Russia is not so bad guys.

These are results of the last International Olympiad in Informatics (2012, Italy):

1. China - 4 gold out of 4 - total score 1847

2. Russia - 4 gold out of 4 - total score 1765

3. USA - 3 gold and 1 bronze - total score 1637
