Truth be told Greeks are also darkwashed here. Most authors show about 30% light eyes (I could perhaps find about 35 or so). And despite the fact I know your sarcasm in this case is directed at me also, I won't reply you with such because I respect you as a poster here and can relate to a large part of what you said. The picture of the Austrian jerk and psychopath is the only irritating thing about your post.

I have results for both sexes and each sample is 5 times larger than his. Plus, he seems to count mainly blue and blue-mixed eyes.

Based on that.

Ok ,don't mind me , I have nothing personal against you either but man you can't just say that these 6 blondes are the equivalent of Pitt's dark roots ...so I leave that to the rest of you to discuss as I foresee 20+pages...

Vatev and Popov both show Bulgarians between 40-45% light-eyed (I have even posted Popov's results).
Given the fact they count light green nuances but exclude dark green (which I include), the results are pretty similar.

Try again with trolling someone else - many blond people have darker roots, including men:

Lol. Never seen more fake colours than Pehlivanova and Dimitrova's here. Turns out you are the one who cannot tell a fake colour.
Plenty of women dye their hair darker. Number 4 is blond even on this photo.

Wow people counting Bulgarians can find anywhere from 16% (Ikiru) to 57% (The Blade) light eyes. Amazing

These kind of studies about eye and hair colour distributions have always a bias and I don't think that they can be representative of a whole country.

You can do sampling inspection for series of mechanical parts to verify their quality but no way you can assume that the eye and colour distribution follow some kind of a statistical law, it's very random.

And I think that even with all the corrective calculus that you will make to avoid that, your estimation will be so huge in his range that it isn't very useful.

People's criteria hugely differ.
Anyway, Ikiru did say he was afraid he didn't treat the numbers as properly in my thread about Popov's studies.
ToeKneeHwin's results match almost perfectly my numbers for blue and blue-mixed light eyes.
