Re: the history and mathematics of prejudice
Apparently there are quite a lot of differences between US and UK versions of nursery rhymes as well as other common cultural references such as the names of children's games.

I'd imagine other English speaking cultures have other similar differences.

Abe - I don't have a problem with testing cultural knowledge as long as it's realised that it is cultural knowledge that is being tested.
