Its a shame that we are not even on the list, Saudi Arabia, so i wont be judging any country.
However, i have been to Yemen and Egypt, i have a doubt in the ranking here...i think Yemanis are faster than Egyptians.
Plus, the dude who did this research must have been realy bored to thinking of doing a research about THAT.
Made me feel that the world is perfect and there is nothing worth researching about anymore..LOL
