Avocadro - your point (I think) is that the US students winning does not indicate that US students are better at geography?

I would agree. I would also agree that you'd have to be an idiot to have thought the original National Geographic poll that started this thread meant anything when it only sampled less than 50 American students to reach the conclusion that US students were poor in geography. Polls that sample only small groups of persons are a waste of time and money, and the results are incredibly inacurate.
