1965 population was 194 million x 35% = 68 million

2000 population was 281 million x 83% = 233 million

243% increase in sinners?

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)
