Let's take a look at his statement:

"huh? what's the big deal? tons of sim students did everything u mentioned"

Tons (plural) meaning >=2 tons, so as long as 2 tons of SIM students "did everything u mentioned", his statement is valid.

We assume that there's an equal number of guys and girls in this set and the average weight (averaging guys and girls) is approximately 55 kg. (no stats available).

so 2 tons / 55kg = 36.36.

Are there at least 37 people who "did everything u mentioned"?

I would dare say yes, there indeed are.

SIM has 36,000 students enrolled

37 / 36,000 is about ~0.1%.

So are the top 0.1% of SIM students "doing everything u mentioned"? I would say with a high confidence interval that yes, his statement is indeed valid.
