Quite big differences there George and Joe! How do you think your lives would be different if you were living in Jamaica or Tunisia?
HB - is that in the UK? What about in a different country?
I was worth $4.35

Mrs K in the UK is worth $4.47, but if I were my sister-in-law in Malawi, I'd only be worth $0.09. I'm wordless.
It's scary isn't it, Mrs K?
How does that make you feel LT?
I was $4.19 By Alix
Is that in the UK Alix? What about if you were in a different country?
Why is it that George and Joe were worth more than HB, LT and Alix in the UK?
cos they are boys probably.
i just did it again but changed my age to 13. i was 4p more. not much!!!
joe!!!!
Probably so, Anonymous - but would you expect that to be the case in an MEDC?
What about getting your parents to do it and leave a comment, Joe (and anyone else!)? Then we would have more of an indication how age affects the results...
i was worth in uk $3.86 but in madagascar i was worth $0.05 by becky m
its amazing how when i changed my height i was worth 10 cents less!
with my normal height i was worth 4.16 but when i made myself taller i was only worth 4.06!!! i think it could of been because with my weight and being really tall i must of been extremely thin!!!
heloise c
reading what u said to joe i barcoded my dad he was worth 6.13 here but if he was in iceland he would be worth 6.62!! thats a bit of a differance but a big differance to wat im worth!!
Was it you who barcoded your dad Heloise? I think those are the highest values I've seen, even just in this country!
The question now is, what do these "values" actually mean? Do they tell us anything useful? How are they calculated? How reliable is the data used?
Don't forget to leave your name or initials on each comment!
