When asked how he came up with the idea for the "How Rare Are You?" series, Knowledgesaurus said it started after making a bunch of videos and seeing what people enjoyed watching. “I realized that people love to know information about themselves and love statistics. So that’s how the series began.”

“I always loved knowing random useless information to surprise people with,” the content creator said and added: “I think it all started when I was younger. If someone was talking about something I didn’t know much about, I would go and look up stuff about it and find interesting information about that topic so I could have a better conversation next time.”

Something else that is also rare: having both red hair and blue eyes, and it’s actually the rarest combo on earth. This is because red hair and blue eyes alone are both rare, and both parents have to carry the gene for the child to have red hair and blue eyes. I actually have red hair and blue eyes. Both my sisters have red-ish hair, but their eyes are not blue and their hair isn’t nearly as red as mine.

Green eyes are incredibly rare, believe it or nto. Only 2% of the entire worlds population has green eyes, and iirc, they are the rarest eye colour aside from "mutations" that may cause different eye colours like a reddish or violet eye (albinism for example) (I also use the term mutation lightly, as funnily enough, the genes that cause a person to have green eyes initially was a mutation, same as with blue eyes, and this can be tracked down to certain specific ancestors, meaning people with green or blue eyes may be very, very, very, veryx10000 distantly related to each other xP) That means that freaking amber eyes are actually more common than green eyes. o.o So not, "boring old green eyes"!
