20 Orange Round Up!

Can you believe I've already eaten 20 oranges? It's only been 2 weeks!

Here are the results thus far:

The average/mean is 10.1 segments per orange.

The mode is 10, as is the median.

The standard deviation of this sample is 1.209610638

I only have one orange left from our first box, so I'll have to replenish the stock over the weekend.

Check out the blog page for a look at the distribution chart. It's got the makings of a nice bell curve, if you ask me.

I'll leave you with Orange-ku VII:

There is just one orange left to eat
It's skin is getting dry and hard,
but it feels extra mushy inside. Yum?

Duodecimal

I've been fascinated with the idea of a base 12 number system for a long time. This is what I would call the numbers up to 100 (144 in decimal).

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, dozen

Onzen, twezen, thirzen, fourzen, fifzen, sixzen, sevezen, eightzen, ninezen, tenzen, elezen, twenzy

Thirzy, forzy, fifzy, sixzy, sevenzy, eightzy, ninezy, tenzy, elevenzy, dodozen
