Who came last?

Laos was ranked 109th with a score of 0. Often the team that comes last has fewer than 6 contestants, but this one had 6.

Australia preformed relatively bad this year.

Australia preformed relatively bad this year.

They all got medals.

They all got 7 out of 7 in at least 2 questions.

They beat 84 other countries.

That's not bad.

 

[Jose Arcadio Buendia]

We have relatively good years and relatively bad years. This year the paper didn't suit us particularly well, but we still managed to secure 42 on Q1/4 and no one missed out on medals. That's not a failure.

And the guy from China who got full point has his name spelled like Yuan YANG not Yuan Yuan.

Nah, there's heaps of interest but it's not as well known or touched upon.
