can anyone solve this riddle, about a survey?

The following survey results were in an English newspaper. It was about office workers who have affairs.

42% of men and 20% said they had affairs. The survey also said it was mainly 'men in the north' and women in the south.

Can anyone else work out how this can be?

Update:

Oops! It should be 20% women said they had affairs

    so of all the men who work in offices, 42% have had an affair, of this 42% the majority of these men were in the north of the country.

    Same again for the women.

    it's really not hard to work out!!

    Source(s): they've not had affairs with each other! dumbass!

    perhaps the men in the north travel south. Or they are all gay affairs
