You not got a game of Triv you can raid there, Brianna? The perfect source for pub quiz questions.

1965 population was 194 million x 35% = 68 million

2000 population was 281 million x 83% = 233 million

243% increase in sinners? :D

If 137% is correct as Brianna said, I guess we were supposed to be looking for the % increase of the % approving sin, rather than the % increase in people approving sin. Nevermind.

I think you mean me, Monster - it's my request.

I don't personally have a game of Triv (my family have one of course, just not me) and my friend doesn't either, at least not in Kenya.

If anyone else is willing to type in a selection of questions and answers of course I'd appreciate it..... ;)

I did, sorry, I just realized that but you'd already posted! It's because you're both such lovely people ;)

OK, I'll try to dig some out later (didn't want to do it if you'd already ruled it out)

Thank you, thank you, thank you (also for the "lovely")

this is me
