This is one thing that irritates me about a tool I work with: It has built-in functions to calculate a median and to calculate an average, by which it means the arithmetic mean. I tend to use the median because the data I work with has severe outliers skewing the mean, but then I have to explain what that means (heh).
Figured what out?

That is a bit of a misnomer since figuring things out requires at least a double-digit IQ and I don’t have one of those.

Well, a two digit IQ is below average (well median, but you get the idea) so…….
The median is an average

So they would be the mode of the mean below the median?
