This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Multiply the population by the percentage? (I didn't find anything on that page suggesting that it wouldn't be the case.)
342 million * 0.5 = 171 million people who are in the bottom yellow line. The top darker green line is 342 million * 0.001 = 342 thousand people
I think you can do the others yourself if you like.
