    My brain hurts

    Whatever answer the 22nd person on the list of 43 people has is the median..

    It works better with an odd number

    Odd number of players.. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 median is 4 (the mid point)
    Even number of players 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 median is 4.5 (the 2 middle numbers /2 .. 4+5/2

    It's the middle answer when they're sorted by size, not by time :p

    It's a rough way of getting the average, without crazy answers affecting it too much, that's all

    I think, in theory, that just thinking "what would most people put for this question?" should be the best tactic :)

    What time (roughly) does the daily question get posted at? So I can plan me day like!?

    I'll post the question each day about 9am
    PM me answers by 7pm.
    I'll do a mini reveal each evening about 8-8:30pm (depending on toddler bedtime!)

    I'll drop a couple of reminders in the thread during the day too
