Olivia asked:

What percent of our brain capabilities do we use?

============

Well, no one really knows, but it's probably as nearly 100% as we can get. We do badly enough, with
all the effort and time we put in to working on problems, don't we. As for what you might be thinking
of, i.e., "we only use 10% of our brains"... take a look at the sites below, which explode that myth.
