A while back I saw a report on an exercise regarding IT workers in different
countries. Basically they got people from the US, Canada, Mexico, India, China, Philippines, Europe, Russia, and some other places, put them together in rooms by nationality, and told them to build an application/tool that could do a list of things. They all had the same environment to work in, same instructions, same team makeup as far as expertise, and had a certain amount of time to do it.

At the end of the study, they evaluated each team's final product and found that the US and Canada were pretty good at documentation, but had the most efficient/elegant coding (like 100 lines). India finished the fastest, had terrible documentation, and like 1000 lines of code. Philippines had great documentation and decent coding. Can't remember the other countries.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about or see the study as well? I just tried looking for it on google, but wasn't able to.
