i don't think there's much truth in that. I would think more people could do a simple algebra question than find uk on a map.
True there are many people bad at math but i have noticed that alot of "smart" people i know are terrible with geography.
heres a perfect example.
I was chatting with a doctor friend and his wife the other day and we were talking about mexico for some reason and he asked me "does mexico run from coast to coast ? " , i was pretty shocked, but even more shocking was , after i gave him a general layout of the area i mentioned cuba as being an island near florida, and i shit you not he said "cuba is an island ? "
wtf , how could you go 40 years in life and not know cuba is an island
