Got it, but I'm way too late for anything good. I like getting the neomail so I'm reminded generally when the next one is coming up, though.
They explained how they got last week's answer:

Round: 108
What percentage of users answering this question will get it correct?
Please round to the nearest whole number. Please do not include any characters in your answer other than numbers. This includes spaces, punctuation, or percentage signs. If there is no correct answer, we'll pick whatever answer comes closest to being correct.
Answer: 3
I know everyone is curious about how this one worked out. And we were actually very lucky that there was a clear-cut correct answer here.
47,978 users entered this week's Lenny Conundrum. Here were the top ten answers, with the rounded percentage of users answering each one:
1. "100" (2898 guesses, 6% of total entries)
2. "1" (2725 guesses, 6% of total entries)
3. "0" (2062 guesses, 4% of total entries)
4. "50" (1393 guesses, 3% of total entries)
5. "2" (1321 guesses, 3% of total entries)
6. "3" (1237 guesses, 3% of total entries)
7. "5" (1086 guesses, 2% of total entries)
8. "100%" (976 guesses, 2% of total entries, but DISQUALIFIED since the question stated to omit percentage signs)
9. "10" (960 guesses, 2% of total entries)
10. "25" (766 guesses, 2% of total entries)
All other guesses came in at under 2%, and since 0, 1, and 2 are already accounted for in the top ten, it's just a matter of which one comes closest. From above, you can clearly see that "3" was the correct answer.
