on a 1 - 100 scale i put the below words when i solve CR Question

all - 100
most - greater than 51
many - greater than 40
some - greater than 1



in ur case, u r narrowing the scope from wide(most) to narrow(many)..it looks correct..
if this issue due to any question, then share the Q

I will say
all : 100
some: 1-99
Most : > 50


I remember many can be all was written somewhere in CR bible in an example. Right now I am not able to find that example. Will post soon.

The term "many" is relative. What can be inferred from the statement, "many people are crazy" is that "at least some people are crazy" and "not all people are crazy".

Have you come across this kind of CR. I would love to see a few examples.
