Almost everyone makes it in but not many make it out.
What is being alluded to here?

Ha, that's good; I go through a lot of days like that-but this is much simpler. It's something almost all of the general population get to, and go through, but not all of us make it to the other side of.
It's more than one, yet less than three if you want to talk numbers.

this is my first time on this website, seems to be pretty cool. I love riddles. I have never heard the riddle, "Who will make it out?" It appears that you are supposed to read it 102 times and then give the answer, correct me if I'm wrong. If this were true then the riddle itself is the real riddle, why a questionmark at the end and not a period. "Who" will make it out. It's kinda like a statement in the riddle "How Long is a China Man." How Long is the name explaining that he is a China Man (Being originated from China) Who is the person's name and he/she will make it out. Did I miss something is there more to the riddle than the question itself, "Who will make it out?" Is this in fact a question or a mistated statement?

"Who will make it out?" is simply the title of the riddle. And you don't have to read it quite as many times as 102, unless of course you have that much time on your hands.

*lol* "(Read <some number> times)" Just signifies how often the thread has been read, not how often you should read it (or the title).
That's the nice thing about "read", it's the same in present and past tense..

Good guesses guys, but you don't have to do anything, or make anything (although you do), to make it in, and you're pretty lucky-(depends on how you look at it), to make it out.
Think: Life, then consider how many 0's it has.

I see...
I'm guessing...
almost everyone makes it in the 0-100 age range...
but not many make it out of that range and into the 100-200 range.

You have the general idea, the answer is: double digits.
