    Oh I know how much the mods in AH love threads with a gender angle, but there is nowhere else to post this astonishing mistake.

    Research just published by Prof Gijsbert Stoet, of Essex University, and Prof David Geary of the University of Missouri, claims that ...
    In 91 (68%) of the 131 countries (studied), men were on average more disadvantaged than women, and in the other 43 (32%) countries, women were more disadvantaged than men.

    Now this is obviously a terrible mistake.
    91 + 43 = 134 like you said at the beginning of the article. Not 131!!

    I'm so embarrassed for you. Professors!?! Pffft. :(

    It says 131 once, and 134 seven times. It's a typo.

    3 of those countries are non-geographic specific!
