I also found a reference that said that 80% of people couldn't program the VCR. That means that the 68% success rate for men translates to the fact that only 13.6% of men can program it as opposed to 3.2% of women. This is still a big difference but one that has little value in differentiating skill levels. As a group, we all stink at this task.

What they don't mention is that in real life the men won't use the manual, making the actual success rates 5%/16%.

Venite, you crack me up. And wow, if 80% can't do it, I feel justified in my own feelings of insecurity.
