] does this mean all 100 are fools and only the 97 fools will check it out or does it mean 3 are intelligent and only 97 of them who are fools will check it out? How do we phrase it if we want to write out of 100, 97 are fools and the 3 are intelligent? It's a bit ambiguous and unnatural as written.
