If the World Were a Village of 100 People
If we could reduce the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:
The village would have 61 Asians, 13 Africans,
13 people from the Western Hemisphere (North & South America), 12 Europeans, and 1 from the South Pacific
51 would be male, 49 would be female
70 would be non-white; 30 white
67 would be non-Christian; 33 would be Christian
As to their ages:
30 would be 0-14 years old
63 would be 15-64 years old
7 would be 65 years old and older
20 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation
18 would be without access to a safe water supply
39 would lack access to improved sanitation
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
7 people would have access to the Internet
1 would have a college education
1 would have HIV
2 would be near birth; 1 near death
6 would control 59% of the entire world’s wealth; all 6 would be US citizens

How can just 1 have HIV?
If there are 61 Asians and 13 Africans, how can there be 30 white? Or do you mean 4 of the Africans are white people born in Africa?
Interesting, but mathematically flawed.
Guess what, I am also sharp on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. And, it doesn't just happen in AZ. I take it with me everywhere I go. ;;)
We're adults here,I assume. My contribution to your dilemma will be found on your original post.
