AMC 8

But of course, another news besides the Global Warming that you will never hear it from the US media.

AMC 8, the American mathematical test given for the 8th graders, the results for the 2006 has just been announced. Out of more than 147,210 students world wide (8th graders or below) who took the test, 289 students got perfect scores, and 121 of them are students in Taiwan (6 of them are 6th graders and below, one of them is a 4th grader). This has broken the record in Asia once again, but the percentage of students for perfect score is slightly less than the record set by Taiwanese students in 2002.
