Perl Mouse,
I haven't started working on any of the challenges yet, because I wanted to raise a question first. When I learned about means, modes, and medians in statistics - I thought I remembered learnING that the median of an even list is the average of the two middle numbers.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = 3, 4 = 3 + 4 / 2 = 3.5
Is that correct? I guess it doesn't matter if it is since the line that bisects the two lists will still be the median.
After posting the question, I realized that the answer doesn't matter. *shrug*
