What's the gender ratio

[Stefan]

keemy got one.

 

[keemy]

keemy will keep guessing out of boredom:
UAE, Turkey, El Salvador.

 

[Stefan]

Now you got two

 

[keemy]

Jordan, UAE, Turkey

 

[Stefan]

keemy got it. Here are the numbers (female+male+country, sorted by m/f):

1 0 Jordan
3 2 United Arab Emirates
3 2 Turkey
1 1 Aruba
1 1 Luxembourg
1 2 El Salvador
1 2 South Africa
1 2 Vietnam
3 8 Macau
1 3 Ireland
...
3 39 Australia
1 13 Austria
1 13 Switzerland
22 302 Korea
17 261 Indonesia
9 181 Malaysia
1 21 Romania
2 46 Mexico
2 47 Finland
5 132 Hong Kong

Bonus points if you can tell what those three countries have in common that somewhat surprised me in the context of the riddle.

Never hosted a comp?

 

[keemy]

All in the middle east?

 

[Stefan]

UAE hosted the DubaiOpen2009.
keemy's guess is almost what I mean. But what does middle east have to do with the riddle?

 

[keemy]

idk like that area isn't known for it's amazing gender equality.

 

[Matt S]

They're all Islamic countries.

 

[James Ludlow]

They all have the death penalty?

 

[Stefan]

Devin + Matt = correct

Found it interesting that the only three countries where women dominate (the WCA database) are Islamic countries in the middle east. Doesn't quite reflect the impression I had (although I had read about Atatürk's reforms including Women's rights before). Of course the numbers are small, but I still find it interesting.

They're all Islamic countries.

They all have the death penalty?

Wait, Texans are Muslims?
(terrible joke.)

Anyway, that's pretty cool.
Although "guessing" got easier as they went along.:rolleyes:

Yeah, I didn't want it to take too long so I told how good the guesses were. I think it went well this way, thanks for starting.

Pretty much as soon as Sarah and I posted, it'd be hard to have read and get more than 2 wrong.

These games are fun. Speaking of little games, whatever happened to Chris' old "Surprise Challenges"? I miss those.

They can come back I still have a few ideas for them, and there were also some ideas submitted by other users that I thought were really good. It will always be when you're least expecting it, of course
