-- "Change is slow and gradual. It requires hardwork, a bit of luck, a fair amount of self-sacrifice and a lot of patience." Roy.
I got these statistics from the GCJ mailing list. Interesting to see that Kenya had the 2nd highest number of registrants. Number of registrants by country:
510: Egypt 116: Kenya 100: South Africa 48: Jordan 43: Nigeria 27: Ghana 21: Morocco 18: Syria 16: Palestinian Territory 16: Uganda 14: Lebanon 11: Algeria 8: Saudi Arabia 7: Togo 6: Kuwait 5: Tunisia 5: Zimbabwe 4: United Arab Emirates 3: Ethiopia 3: Israel 3: Qatar 3: Senegal 2: Cameroon 2: Canada 2: Iraq 2: Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) 2: Yemen 1: Burkina Faso 1: Congo 1: Iran 1: Libya 1: Malawi 1: Mali 1: Mauritius 1: Mozambique 1: Namibia 1: Oman 1: Pakistan 1: Rwanda 1: Turkey 1: Zambia
These are unofficial statistics because some contestants might be ineligible, and some may have chosen to represent a different country from the country they live in, but the numbers should be pretty close to the truth.
Qualified competitors:
Egypt 152
SA 33 Jordan 6 Lebanon 6 Ghana 3 Morocco 3 Kuwait 2 Palestine 2 Saudi Arabia 2 Syria 2 Zimbabwe 2 Algeria 1 Bulgaria 1 Cameroon 1 Emirates 1 Kenya 1 Mozambique 1 Togo 1 Tunisia 1 UK 1 Zambia 1 I can't confirm those numbers or competitors/countries are eligible, but I can confirm that the one in rank #28 (from UK) is ineligible, don't know how come. If we remove him and consider the qualified are 222 competitors then: Egypt -> 68.5% SA -> 14.9% Others -> 16.7%
