 That's what I thought you meant.
 
 And like I said, it's not true.
 
 Actually, I'd better clarify that.
 
 It is true that we only use around 10% of our brain cells, but there's no huge untapped potential there - the remaining brain cells are structural support and the like, and there's no way of thinking with them.
 We think with only 10% of our brain cells because only 10% of our brain cells are neurones. We use everything we have.
