Back in Athens
Did you know there was a Math Olympiad held in Athens? I just found out. It has been held annually since 1959. This year, 85 countries sent teams of six high school students to compete in the event that took place over two days, in July. The team from the U.S. placed second behind China and brought home five gold medals and one silver. Russia took third place in the standings. Congratulations to all the "mathletes"!

I knew that! ;-)
I'm quite surprised where the US placed however. I fully expected the Russians on top, followed by China and Japan ... although Japan has been rapidly declining.
