Evening,
For a bit of fun, I thought I would run a little competition to see if someone can guess the average age of our 1,068 MoneyThing investors.
Who ever is the closest to guessing the year and number of months wins a chocolate bar of their choice (paid for by me personally).
Competition to end on Friday midday.
Regards,
Ed

My guess, which is the first numbers that came into my head, is 57 years and 9 months .... that is not my age,no idea where it came from If there is some-one that is exactly the average age do they also win a chocolate bar?

Funnily enough there is no one with the exact age...perhaps just as well since he/she might be a little offended for receiving a prize for being 'average'.

... For a bit of fun, I thought I would run a little competition to see if someone can guess the average age of our 1,068 MoneyThing investors. ... Please define 'average': mean, median or mode. Precision is particularly important when it comes to financial matters, though not necessarily the AC 20 dp type of precision.

Is it one guess per member? Can you guess same as someone else - if so is it first come first served, or share out the choc?
