Arithmetic mean? Geometric mean? Harmonic mean? Median? Mode? I'm guessing you intend to use the arithmetic mean, but it's as well to specify these things precisely. Note that the arithmetic mean is probably about the worst measure you could choose here! Anyway, it seems that you have gone to some trouble to specify the problem. That's good. Thank you for posting your specification -- I will save it for future reference. -- Richard Heathfield Email: rjh at cpax dot org dot uk "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line 4 vacant - apply within
