"Graham's law: If the average IQ is 100, half the people you meet are walking around with double digits."

You've made multiple errors:

1. You're confusing average with median. Depending on the distribution, more than half could be on either side of the average.

2. Even if it were a balanced distribution with median at 100, some of the population would be at exactly 100. This means there would be less than half on either side.

3. Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.

:-P
