Misplaced Modifier Editing Question

Dear all,

I am having trouble identifying the misplaced modifier in the following phrase:

Ever experiment almost failed; nearly 90 percent failed.

This is an example of a question I have to answer for a copy-editing class I am taking and it does not appear to be a typographical error, in spite of all my doubts.

Can anyone help me?
