Connected world: 56 sourced records

What this topic measures

The indicator counts people who used the Internet during the previous three months. The unit is %. This topic uses ratio scoring: a value half the target and a value twice the target are equally far away, so think in multiplicative bands rather than fixed steps.

A record is a named row in the frozen catalog, not necessarily a unique entity. Some topics contain several records with the same value, and a name round accepts any record at the closest distance. The table below is the complete answer set for this topic; there is no hidden shortlist.

All 56 records

Every row links to the original source used for that record. Values are rounded for display only; the scoring engine uses the stored source value. The snapshot date and unit are part of the topic’s definition, so a current live figure may differ.

The table has 56 rows, one for each accepted record. It does not list every alias or spelling variant; the game’s name matcher handles those at answer time. If two records share a value, both remain separate rows.

The range and the gaps

The 56 records run from 20.3% to 100%. The median is 88.1%, with a middle half from 78% to 94.8%. The largest adjacent gap is 14.4% between Nepal and India. 2 records share a value with another record, so names can be tied even when their values are equal.

The highest listed records are Saudi Arabia (100%), Norway (99%), Denmark (98.8%). The lowest are Ethiopia (20.3%), Tanzania (28.4%), Kenya (32.1%). Use these as anchors before you make a ratio or year estimate; the table below gives every value.

What the table does not tell you

These are single snapshot values in % for 2023 World Bank snapshot · 56 selected countries. The table is not a time series, a range of typical values or a measure of uncertainty. A source can round, revise or use a different definition in a later release; the game uses the stored snapshot for every score. Read the source and the record label before treating a value as a current live measurement.

How to estimate this topic

Internet use is the percentage of individuals using the internet in the source’s year. It is not broadband penetration or mobile subscriptions. Use 20%, 50% and 90% bands; values near 95% are close to the top and leave little room for a higher guess.
