Made-up statistics (part 2)

A week is made up of seven days. A circle has 360 degrees. The Earth has one natural satellite known as the Moon. Those are all undeniably factual statistics.

However, not all statistics are factual. Some of them are made up! This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features just some of those made-up statistics, starting with a statistic about statistics.

For copyright reasons, here's a picture of
Slowy the Hedgehog instead.
1) Apparently, 82% of all statistics are made up.

But the other 30% are true!





2) 80% of pet hedgehogs are named Sonic.

In all seriousness, I can see there being a grain of truth in this made-up statistic, especially back in the 90s.
