Bonus challenge: can you name the 6 countries with NO women in their legislative bodies? They are all listed as hidden answers.

I went back to try the bonus. I got 5 of 6 and now I'm dying to know what the 6th was.

Debbie: an added feature to sate your curiosity! But before you try it if you'd like to go with a hint... there are [SPOILER ALERT] four in the Pacific Ocean and two in the Middle East. If you want to see the 6 countries with NO women in their legislature, type "reveal bonus" and all six shall appear.

this is really good, just the smallest of things i picked up on though, united states should really be united states of america? russian federation should just be russia and in one of the bonus answers there is a comma (0,0%) where it should have a full stop.

@segacs: I have to like this version better because of the bonus answers w/ 0% women in legislature. But regardless, it's a great concept for a quiz.

Sorry segacs, I started typing the data in for this one about a week ago and when I searched for quizzes with "women" in the title yours hadn't been published yet! In no way did I mean to poach from you; I'm sure if it receives the big honor of actually achieving publication we'll both receive credit.

Dodsface: I went with Russian Federation and United States because that's how the countries are identified by the International Parliamentary Union. It does seem weird, doesn't it? I can't decide if I should change it... do you still think I should? Other comments?

Sorry to comment-**** my own quiz, but I just noticed that Segacs and I have slightly different data. One difference is that I pooled both legislative bodies in bicameral systems to get a total % women, the other is that I used more recent data.
