Actually it's 49.99999. . . .%  If you line up everyone in order from 
smartest to dumbest the guy in the middle is "normal".  Further there's 
no reliable way to distinguish the "normal" person from any of a million 
just below him in line or from any of a million just above him.

But it's a lovely example!
