Answer Percents

Hey all, could somebody please explain this: once you see what you got right and wrong, there's also an indicator for what others chose and the percent who chose the correct answer. On every question I've done, even the hardest ranked ones, it's always 50-60%+ that are getting stuff right, often higher. Does this mean the majority is answering everything correctly? Kind of demotivating to see a '70% chose the correct answer' on every 5* question I struggled with...

    You are, in a way, asking two different questions. The percent you see is the percent that got that answer correct. So say, 50-60% on the hardest questions. But it is incorrect to assume that the majority is getting everything correct. There will also be an indicator that shows 25%-50%-75% splits (that gray bar with a black strip and 3 numbers on them). That indicates that, for that question, 25% of scorers with the 1st number got that question correct, 50% of scorers with the 2nd bolded number got that question correct (for the tougher questions this is often in the 160's), and 75% of scorers with the 3rd number got the question correct. So while it is often that people choose the correct answer (more often than not anyway) it is usually not the same people continuously.
