Lagta aap ko unglee pakarwa kar chalana paray ga:

Watch/read carefully:

Read the text in circle in pic above, what does it say? “Rank”, right? Now watch/read pic below:

What “Rank” is shown for Pakistan, country above Pakistan and country below Pakistan? Does it say 138 by any chance for more than 1 countries? When more than 1 country scores same (2.4 in this case) they are given same rank. Does it makes sense to you so far? Let me know if you need further training.

Now stop being childish and not talk about Zardari and company, seems like you are as much educated as Zardari.

Aap tou khafa hou gayea .. … Anyhow, I have to say that you are misreading the table or you would not have wrote what you wrote. You have taught me how to read the table, now let me clear you what is in the table. So please read it with care and try to understand it .. thanks.

Reference: Transparency table on corruption ranking:

http://www.transparency.org/news_room/in_focus/2007/cpi2007/cpi_2007_table

The table has names of 180 countries … and table gives ranking … going from ‘Least corrupt Country’ to ‘Most corrupt Country’.

Denmark is least corrupt country and has rank 1.
Somalia and Myanmar are joined most corrupt country and has rank 179.

So, total countries in the table are 180 (because two are joined at 179 … you can only see Rank going to 179 .. else countries are 180 .. if you want to, count them).

Rank of Pakistan in the table is 138 out of 180 countries mentioned.
**What that means? … **
It means that 137 out of 180 countries are less corrupt than Pakistan.

**So … **
**Pakistan that has rank 138 out of 180 (in 2007 TI corruption table)… **
**There are 137 countries less corrupt than Pakistan **
**and ****180 -138 = **
42 countries more corrupt or equally corrupt to Pakistan.

Now read my previous post (that you objected) … Since we are talking of country rank who are most corrupt Country and not least corrupt Country … I took Transparency International table … but I gone other way round … ranking the country going from **‘Most corrupt Country’ to ‘Least corrupt Country’ **… not’ Least corrupt country’ to ‘most corrupt country’ as in the table.

In this way .. TI table ranking of ‘Most corrupt country’ took rank 1 … and ‘Least corrupt country’ took rank 180. I done that to show clearly how many countries are more corrupt or equally corupt to Pakistan. Hence in ranking of most corrupt country:

Somalia and Mynamar jointly are ‘Most corrupt country’ with rank 1.
Denmark is ‘Least corrupt Country’ and has rank 180.

So … amongst 180 countries … If you want to know rank of least corrupt country than Pakistan rank comes 138 out of 180.

And similarly .. amonst 180 countries … if you want to know rank of most corrupt country than Pakistan rank comes 43 out of 180.

Both above figures are same. Only difference is quoting rank of least corrupt country or most corrupt country. Further to clear the ambiguity, I also gave the names of all 42 countries who ranks as more corrupt or equally corrupt than Pakistan.

I gave 42 names. If you had objection than you should have told me with proof that any of those 42 countries (that on TI table has rank of 138 or more) are less corrupt than Pakistan … instead of giving lecture.

Note: In the table there are 5 countries that have rank 138. These are:
Pakistan, Camaroon, Ethiopia, Paraguay, Syria.

Now, Pakistan in table is shown after Camaroon and Ethiopia because names of countries with same ranking are given in alphabetical order and in alphabetical order Pakistan comes after Camaroon and Ethopia but before Paraguay and Syria … but that does not mean these countries are better than Pakistan but actually, whatever applies to Pakistan applies to all of these 5 countries equally.

That is why in my past post and even here … I wrote that … there are 42 countries more corrupt or equally corrupt to Pakistan … because there are actually 38 countries more corrupt than Pakistan and 4 countries equally corrupt as Pakistan. Thus there are 42 countries more corrupt or equally corrupt to Pakistan].
