Wow, that's a pretty prejudicial conclusion. I've got a friend or two in japan, and I wouldn't say they are all thousands of times smarter than us. Besides, they'd be at a huge disadvantage, because they wouldn't have any time to do FIRST with their ridiculous schooling hours. Most Japanese students go to extra school after school, and have tons more homework than we do.

UPDATE: Oh, and it's ridiculously cool!
