Interesting to see where my assumptions were right and where they were wrong. Thanks for sharing!

I guessed more of an S-shaped curve than actually exists... My guess was the percentage was low and level to about 20th percentile, then rising in a line, then leveling off at over 90% for the 80th-99th percentile incomes.

I also had more of an S-shape. Sadly, only better than 64% of the drawings.

My line was slightly s shaped but pretty close to the straight line solution.
