Comment on Sent this to my friends flexing a "top 65%" score. The site didn't make it clear that's not a good thing.

50% of the people is more stupid than average
In a quota that uses integers and puts 100 as the average, a lot of people will be exactly average. Therefore it is incorrect to say that 50% is below average. It’s probably somewhere between 48% and 49%.
If you require scores to be integers, this is true. If you allow for decimals, probably nobody is exactly average. :)
More of less?
