16% of 2066 Americans are average :)

It just occured to me...

1+6=7
6+1=7
5+2=7
2+5=7
3+4=7
4+4=7

There are six chances of rolling seven on two six-sided dice. This makes seven the most common number on what are called "averaging dice".

Since the dice can't roll '1' there are 35 possible combinations. 6 divided by 35 is .1714285. This means that 17% is the absolute average you can roll on the dice.

This means that an "average" number of Americans are "average".

Well, very close, anyway.
