11. That would only hold true

if you included the numbers of addicts of prescription drugs from the 1970's too. You can't use the chart's numbers for 1970 and not look up those numbers, and only look up the 2010 numbers. If you don't have parallel numbers for both from the same source, then you cannot compare. Perhaps math genius needs a course in statistics.
