[SactoBass]

Did I mention I was thinking of selling a car? My ad is gonna read like this:

FOR SALE: A CAR $1200

Do ya think I should really include that much info?

Not necessarily so!

 

[Derek Kiernan]

Not necessarily so!

I'd guess more than half

I need to point out that average does not necessarily cut an amount in half; thats the median.

See:
4 people with IQs of 80, 90, 100, 150. Average is 105; that is 3 people below average and one above. Median is 85: 50% below, 50% above.



Edit: uhh, thesmallprint, you've been faster

Item for sale!

Items is still available? I will like to purchase. What is condition and final selling price?

Please send your SSN so I can verify.

 

[Bardley]

I love it.

And BTW, I have a car for sale for $10,000...

 

[Beginner Bass]

I see those ads, and many others. Just confirms my belief that we live among a population of idiots.

Or maybe we're just the geniuses.

 

[Hoover]

Why did that Craigslist poster feel like he needed to go into so much detail on that bass rig he is selling?

Maybe he would have more luck with this wording:

Amplifier for sale!

...or better yet...

Item for sale!

Pffft, too many words! How about just

"Sale!"

Maybe he thinks Craigslist charges by the word.

All the more reason!

Does your sample group include those whose intelligence is so low they are incapable of being tested? Also remember that 67.4% of all stated statistics are made up on the spot.

Technically, below median intelligence, but no one likes a math geek.

KO
