Thus, half of the population has a double-digit IQ. The criteria for a 100 IQ is recalculated every once in a while to maintain the balance.Well, this isn't 100% true, is it? AFAIR, the IQ of 100 is the average knowledge of a person of your age. So if there's someone like my girlfriend, whose IQ exceeds all known limits, there are automatically more people with a two-digit IQ than those with a three-digit one.
That would be true if the incredibly smart people weren't balanced by the incredibly not-so-smart ones.
So if the majority of people with an IQ higher than 100 have an IQ which is a _lot_ above 100, this would mean that the amount of 419 victims is actually _higher_ than 50% of the humanity.
Assuming that the people with 100% are actually at the peak of the bell curve (as it is supposed to be), the opposite would be the case: There would be just as many people with an IQ less than 100 as there are people with a higher one. But since 100 is a three digit number as well, there would be more three digit people than two digit ones.
