I know it's kind of thought of as a myth, but I was having an argument with someone about it. I thought I read somewhere that Einstein said he thought he only used about 3% of his brain; or as little as 3%. But everywhere I look all I can find is 10%.

According to that, it's a myth but Snopes has failed me in the past.

This could be a bit :ot: , but: if i'm right (and i could be not) we use only 30% of the muscle fiber of a muscle in a specific moment (to keep the blood flux between the fibers)...

We use 10% eh? Then why does some people act like, they only use 2%?

Because not all are same smart and some are less intelligent than others?

I've heard this myth a hundred times over, they lso refer to it in comics,theres this one guy whos supposed to be super smart because he uses 100% of his brain where as we only use 10.

Its just a myth, fake.

LOL good one ignite

I heard we don't use our brain to its full potential, which is most likely correct, but I never heard of any percentages before.

I use 98%. Basta.

snopes.com isn't always right, but in that case it is. That's a myth.
