That's how I'm in the top 5%.

Yeah, top 3% for stuff like being the first person to ask about terminal colour codes and explain typedef.

Hard to see that many new questions with such broad appeal that weren't already asked or answered for any new users to get their rep as easily

It's remarkable as perhaps the lowest effort/highest benefit to others online action in my life.
