Level 8

Half of all people are below average at math.

David Ellis' fourth Law of Thermodynamics
(I know there are multiple 'laws' of thermodynamics often having to do with rates of entropy and stuff -- I'm ignoring those.)

If the probability of success is not almost one, it is damn near zero.

Not really. Imagine 99 people who are 100 at maths. There is also one person who is 50 at maths.
99% of them will be above average!

@Petter
You're right. I should have said below the median.😋

@Petter Most people have an above average number of legs. Because if one person in say every hundred is an amputee, then the average number of legs is 1.99. So ninety nine people out of a hundred have an above average number.

There are 10 sorts of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

There Are Two Types Of People in this world: those who can extrapolate incomplete data.
