- One fourth of the worlds population is 25%.  The other 75% don't know that.
- 86% of statistics are made up on the spot.  The remaining 24% are not accurate.
- 75% of people are gullible.  The other 25% think the preceding statistic is true.
- Four out of five dentists say to chew sugarless gum.  The other one has a sense of humor.
- 51% of Americans think "mispelled" is spelled correctly.

I just made those up.  Post your own, or quote some you like. 

(I was going to post this in a fuzzy thread, but changed my mind.  If this has been done before or would go better in forum games admins can merge or move it.)

100% of all people are people.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

50% of the population understand math. The other 80% are unaware that they don't.

This isn't really a statistic, and I didn't make it up, but...

That reminds me of a saying my math teacher said. (That is kind of like what bobman said.)

"There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those who can do math, and those who can't. (Sorry for being off-topic too)

95% of the world phails. The other 5% win.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

5 out of every 4 people have trouble with fractions.
