Are you one of the smartest 60 million people?

Are you one of the smartest 60 million people? For that matter, are you among the top 60 million at anything? 60 million is a lot of folks. The two largest of the United States, California and Texas, total roughly that number. It's 100 times the number of folks in Vermont.

60 million is one percent of the world's 6 billion people. Mensa members are required to be in the top two percent of intelligence. To say that you're one of the smartest 60 million is to say that you're not just eligible, but you'd be one of the smarter members.

I mention this not to put anyone down, but just to give scale to the gigantic numbers.
