Is it any less of an achievement than setting a record for the most number of goals in a year by an athelete?

Or the number of hot dogs eaten in five minutes?

Eating exactly pi hot dogs in exactly pi minutes would be quite an achievement.

I believe this is dirctly related to the school system.
I ahve been in the school in Finland, Sweden, USA, Italy, Cyprus, Canada, and Burundi in Africa. Only Finland and to soem extent Burundi (Rwanda) requires the students to learn.
They demand discipline that does not exist in Swedish and American school system.

PS: I also like the school system in India and China.
