It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.[Edited on January 25, 2010 at 7:22 AM. Reason : sda]

12% of all boys, 3% of all girls? It was still worded very poorly. [Edited on January 25, 2010 at 7:33 AM. Reason : too early]

I'm guessing it went something like they did a study of like 100 kids; for instance 75 boys and 25 girls (cause, ya know - got to make them numbers fit the hypothesis.) If 10% of them are addicted we're looking for 10 kids total. If 9 of them are boys you've got your numbers. The only thing wrong was "12% OF boys and 3% OF girls."
