Right, there are subpopulations with above avg IQ…like the country Korea, or the website AnalystForum!

Actually, having 99.999% of people above the average is not a mathematical possibility if the only outcomes are binary.

Actually, it’s quite possible:

Take a distribution of ones and zeros. There are 999,999 ones and 1 zero.

The average is 0.000001, and 99.9999% of the observations are above average.

ZZZZZZING

I think the average would be closer to 0.99 as there are 999,999 1s and one zero, but aside from that your statement stands.
