“FACT CHECK YOUR TEACHERS 🧠 Humans only use 10% of their brains. Einstein failed math as a kid and still changed physics. The Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from space. Goldfish have a 3-second memory. Lightning never strikes the same place twice. Schools should teach THIS instead of algebra. SHARE if you agree!”

Parts of this go against the evidence. 5 of 7 checkable claims go against the evidence; 2 hold up so far; 1 not a checkable fact.

0.0000 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745 for all claims together. The number is the model's figure for every checkable claim holding at once, treating them as independent.

The statement as a whole, read from the 8 claims below. Each claim is scored on its own; this reading only counts them. Provisional until audited.
