Dammit, my first offering (12) was a 10! And I changed it! Still 8.7 is not too bad.

Three people changed, two got worse!

While you're all here - someone asked about weekends and I noticed it was a little quieter last weekend, and a couple of people missed out. Would people prefer it if was weekdays only?

By way of thanking posts to vote...

Thank this post if you think we should have weekend questions

Electric Nitwit

Thank this post if you think we should only have weekday questions

Electric Nitwit

You can thank this post if you have no preference but like to be involved

6.2 I said and I don’t get top marks

Posy

I've never heard of skipping any advent calendar on weekends! :pac:

Irish Aris

Ah, that's going very well.
I was initially planning for a higher guess, but seeing the discussion here and how some people don't like them, I lowered my expectations.

It's a good point
I was planning to, but thought I'd check what the mob wanted!

We'll be doing the advent calendar for the New Year!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Is the Internet closed on Weekends?

Trigger

Thank the lord for Ted to give us all higher points!

How does one go about sitting on ones own lap?

When even Glaswegians won’t eat the things that should be enough of a warning.

Don't mock! You make these guesses based on your own experience.

OK, mock.

I'm also OK for weekends.
I might miss Saturday as I will be travelling all day - but might be able to send you an answer during my transiting.

I want to express my gratitude to Ted as well for getting me my first 10 points!

I actually thought the answer would be somewhere between 10 and 15, when I guessed 12! I have to say I am surprised at 6.5. I did not think too much about the median - thanks again Ted! :pac:
