I'm not a gambling man, but perhaps I should be. Even though there should only be about 2000 of you IQ 160+ people in the world, by pure chance I seem to have bumped into at least 100 of them. Incredible, what are the odds?

The obvious answer would be that there is a global conspiracy of IQ 160+ people (the Intelligati) and you are a member!

I have no idea what my IQ is, but I'm pretty sure I'm not a member

You're on to us eh? That's clever. Maybe a bit too... clever? I'm on to you, brother Intelligati

But you just said:
> So what about 160? It's in 0.0031%
0.0031 / 100 * 7e7 = 2170.0
