4)Percentage: 23%

5) The balance of power in this list is favoured to men. This is because there is just about one woman in the top 10 followed by another just in the top 20. Overall 77 of the 100 are men, therefore there is a considerable difference. The reason may be because 6 of the 10 panelists are men so they may choose more men in the top 100 as the 6 men may identify with thier acheievemtns better.
