Why yes, and look, here's the proof:

                  Mean  M       F

3 Japan   82.02  78.67  85.56

8 Sweden 80.63 78.39 83
9 Australia 80.62 77.8 83.59
10 Switzerland 80.62 77.75 83.63
11 France (metropolitan) 80.59 77.35 84



36  United Kingdom 78.7 76.23 81.3


45 United States 78.06 75.15 80.97

(No, wait, wait, there's all sorts of reasons for that, it's a trick,
