Bartlett: Sweden has a literacy rate of 100%. 100%! How do they do that?
Leo: Well, maybe they don't and they can't count.

Still, it is an impossibility to have 100% literacy in a population.

I just watched the first season of THe West Wing on DVD in like 4 days. Shows like crack. Now I have to get the second season, but only AFTER I get some work done.

Total crack. Love the show. And it hurts so badly, because Bartlett is the president we wish we had.

haha... hilarious! perhaps the illiterates couldn't read, "can you read?", on the questionnaire.

Perhaps, but there's no guarantee that they could read the "yes" or "no" answers either.

I'm not sure how accurate West Wing's statistical data is. A search on the internet suggests that as of the 1979 Swedish census, literacy was only at 99%.
