i pretty sure those numbers are in reverse, at least if i understand you correctly. Its 1 in 10(lots of ppl know) then 1 in 10(less ppl know) and so on.
Nope. Not reversed. The guy I responded to thinks that almost everyone (9,999 out of 10,000) knows sidewalk chalk isn’t made out of chalk. I’m saying it’s not even as common as 9 out of 10 know that sidewalk chalk isn’t made out of chalk.
In fact, I’d say the odds are more like 1 out of 2, at best. Possibly even that more people would give the wrong answer than the right one.
Congratulations you are one of the lucky Ten Thousand! https://xkcd.com/1053/
I guess count me in that 10,000 as well
Wow, so 20,000 people read this?
Lemmy’s more popular than I thought.
Yeah… that’s really not in the 1 in 10k catagory. Not even the 1 in 10 catagory.

In that case, i think its the opposite
I would say it’s probably a lot less than ten thousand - I doubt this is something “everybody knows”
