For thinking and knowledge 10 percent is used you cant use all of your brain for that as the rest is used for other things such as body functions, nerve, etc.

10% but if your on drugs like LSD, you use 30 % of your brain. i can only imagine using 100% of your brain, maybe lose your mind or have telechenetic powers?
Contrary to the popular myth, we use 100% of our brain. Instead of attempting to build more brain capacity, try improving the quality of the work your brain does. Here are some good mental exercises:
1. Learn something new. Don’t just learn things your enjoy, but also learn things that you may even dislike. Here is an example. If you hate hunting, go to a firing range and learn how to fire a rifle. If you hate cooking, learn how to prepare an apple pie.
2. Appreciate new things. If you think action or horror movies are immature and ridiculous, watch a few films and critique them. Try to find their underlying value.
3. Have new conversations. Talk to people you usually do not speak to. Try to have deep, meaningful conversations with them. See the value in the opinions of others, even if you disagree with them.
4. Don’t complain. Be an optimistic, positive person. Try to see the hidden value in everything.
By learning these new experiences, you will increase your intelligence and your skills.
