    One in Twenty.

    The 95th percentile means you’re in the top twentieth.

    In a group of 40, one will be better than you. In a group of 100, four will be better than you. In a group of 1,000, which is still a small number of people, 49 will be better than you.

    The article doesn’t once mention what 95p actually means, as a number. When you think about the actual number, it’s clear that it’s not a big deal.
