SCIENCE!
This is an excellent discussion, and I now require an answer as to what the average number of fallopian tubes per person is.

About 20% of the female population of the UK have a hysterectomy before they are 60.
adjusting for population spread, about 22% of the female popluation are over 60, so we're looking at minimum of 4.5% of the female population. So, statistically in the UK, that would mean 61.43M fallopian tubes for 63.18M population. or 0.97 fallopian tubes per person.

Since you asked. Although this doesn't allow for any ladies born without them in the first place so the real number is less than 0.97.

ok, but to one significant figure the answer is probably still 1

1 significant figure? you might as well not bother if you're fannying around at that level of inaccuracy, Thedoveston.

This is a very good point.

A strong start, and good attention to detail.
The employment of age reference was done well, but in the end the margin for error wasn't passionate enough, so I'm afraid I can only give this statistical analysis a 6.
