have most of the people here

http://lesswrong.com/lw/8p4/2011_survey_results/

89 people (8.2%) have never looked at the Sequences; a further 234 (32.5%) have only given them a quick glance. 170 people have read about 25% of the sequences, 169 (15.5%) about 50%, 167 (15.3%) about 75%, and 253 people (23.2%) said they've read almost all of them. This last number is actually lower than the 302 people who have been here since the Overcoming Bias days when the Sequences were still being written (27.7% of us).

  • 23% for 'almost all'
  • 39% have read > three-quarters
  • 54% have read > half

My mistake. I'll remember that in the future.
