International science olympiad

[Phenylethylamine]

Both my parents (well before they met each other) were at the International Chemistry Olympiad in I think Bucharest in '80-something. I've never really asked them about the language issues involved, or how they qualified, but maybe now I will .

<SNIP> Not to mention that the US would get absolutely obliterated...

... by China, India, and Russia.

Note that the people on these teams may live in the U.S., but the participant's true ethnicities may be Asian or Western European/Russian. Here is one of the examples: US Physics Olympiad team 2008 - Tucker Chan, Edward Gan, Joshua Oreman, Danny Zhu, and Rui Hu. Only one non-asian, just saying

That would me awesome. But their would be major difficulties like languages or transportation.

One small problem (Correct me if I'm wrong): I believe that the US is the only country that does Science Olympiad! (Although there may be teams from Canada occasionally)

there's at least one team in Mexico...they compete in TX every year
