Where are you on the global fat scale?

Found this nice tool: you enter your height, weight, age and sex and it calculates your BMI, then it compares your BMI to that of the average in your Country and other Countries in the World and tells you where your average BMI is that of the majority of the population.

I got this:

You have a lower BMI than 55% of females aged 30-44 in your country
You have a lower BMI than 56% of females aged 30-44 in the world
You're most like someone from Papua New Guinea
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 7,012,630 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population

Did you enter all measurements correctly? It's impossible to have a BMI higher of lower of 100% of the population.
The first time I tried it, for example, I didn't use the correct punctuation (used a comma and wrote my height this way 1,65 mt instead of 1.65 mt) and got a very weird result.

The scale doesn't take into account fat percentage/musculature. According to this, Ronnie Coleman would be:

For those of you who don't know who Ronnie Coleman is, he was Mr. Olympia from 1998-2005. To all of you disheartened by your results, keep this in mind...
