omg. Am i the only one who put 1/22?? Because didn't the question ask what proportion of countries have more female ministers ... as in, more female minister than MALE ministers in that country??

Eg. Norway had 56% - which means there's more female ministers than male ministers in that country???

I'm pretty sure it doesn't REALLY matter what you put. A proportion refers to the quotient you get when the the whole is divided by a smaller part. And a quotient refers to the result of a division. So if you put 11/22, it means the same thing as 1/2 which means the same thing as 0.5 which means the same thing as 50%. It's only the PROPORTION. 50% of female ministers, half the female ministers = same thing.
