And most college degrees [0] don't require anything beyond basic math (e.g., intro to statistics or calc) where "algorithm" might not even be said.
Might be overcompensating because I go the entire day only talking to people with PhDs (where 100% could define it?), but I really think << 10% could accurately define it.
