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. 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.
