Olympic Medal Math

[Bnewb]

So am I mathematically illiterate for noticing Jamaica...Mexico...etc...should prioritize medal count after education, poverty, corruption??? Just sayin'. Plenty of math will support this point!!!

Hmmmm...so much for an easygoing/nice thread!
I believe the point was simply to say, that a country with all the advantages including a much larger population such as the US produce less medals per person than a small developing island country.

Yes. I believe that was the point. Me posting it was not intended to drum up controversy.
