I don't think most (as in, the vast majority, and the only reason I'm not saying that no one does is that I've known some very strange statisticians in my time) people think median for average - but then, one of the points of this exercise was how you defined average, first time through. You think of averages in terms of numbers, and normally so do I, but I realized while taking this that that wasn't how I was judging these things at all. It was really interesting.
