The other thing that table shows is that the vast majority of contestants were male. I'd like to see any comments the organizers had about that.

It shows what IQ tests have shown for years. The highest average IQs in the world are East Asians, certain South Asian groups, and white Jews and that there are far more males at the high end of the scale than females.

Of course, we aren't allowed to believe any of this because it is politically incorrect.

Math Olympiad is just like other international sports competitions, pure meritocracy. No affirmative action, no gender preference, no racial quota, may the best contestant win! Many girls attended the US training camp, but no girl made it to the final six, not yet.

How about systematic gender discrimination? And girls have made the USA final six in the past.

I stand corrected. For 5 times, a girl did reached the final six. Those were more than 10 years ago.

This evening I ordered one latte, 2 donuts. Price 5.03.
Okay... I gave a 10 dollar bill, the girl looked at the register, it said change 4.97, but meanwhile I grabbed 3 penny's.
She told me she couldn't give change..... I totally confused her.... I said, give me a 5, and go back to school..... She looked p....d.

I stop at this place often, like twice a month, because they are cheap.
She would not make a great contender....

.........and I suppose you were proud of yourself for being boorish and impolite.

BTW, you gave her 3 pennies, not penny's. Time to go back to school.
