In a room of 100 people, 99% are left-handed. How many left-handed people have to leave the room to bring that percentage down to 98%?
This question is from an Instagram reel by the page The 1% Club (also a TV show). They claim only 1% of people can get this question right in 30 seconds. Frankly, I thought the answer was 1 at first, but after a more careful thought for about 10 seconds, I got it and saw why this was a very tricky and counter-intuitive question.
