"Percentiles work by dividing up the scores of test-takers into 99 groups (percentiles). The 99th percentile is the highest; there is no such thing as a 100th percentile. Even if you scored a perfect 800 on a section, that still puts you in the top 1% of test-takers."
The error here is that he meant to say top 1% as opposed to the top 99th percentile. The statement is just as close to being correct as it is to saying the top 99%. Obviously we know what they were going for but it's still funny for them to bring it up in a protest anyway.
Wow! Its intelligence is higher than at least 1% of the population! Impressive!
