Normally I'd be very wary of this, but I went to the #1 liberal arts college in the U.S. My American-born classmates included people like John Glenn's grandson, the heir to the Mead trapper-keeper company, the son of the guy who founded Kohl's department stores, the nephew of the famous Hollywood madame, etc. With the exception of the Mead guy, most of these people were functionally innumerate and never took a math course in college. So I might be comparing the best & brightest of Bulgaria, but in theory at least I'm comparing them against the best & brightest of America (though in practice I suspect it's more like the richest).
