how can 1.3 mil be 1.83% of Chads population

that would mean Chad has over 70 mil people, but it really is closer to 16 mil

There are quizzes where the yellow box really works, but the yellow box just takes the fun out of a quiz like this.

Saudi Arabia doesn't have 100 million people, so it is impossible that 27.1% of it's population that speaks arabic would also be 27.1%.

Shouldn't Israel also be on the list? According to Wikipedia and multiple other sources, Arabic is natively spoken by more than 20% of the population, which is more than 1.5mil people.
