that well over 50% of the population were below average intelligence.

That depends on how you get an average,
if you take ten people's intelligence, and 9 of them score 1 out of 10, then add 1 person who scores 10 out of 10, the average is 1.7... so 9 of the 10 score below average intelligence.

It's easy.
And I got a C at GCSE maths... many moons ago.

in this case,
you would probably use the modal average.
therefore the average would be 1.
so almost everyone is average!
yay.
