Let's see, sometimes there's two, sometimes three, sometimes 4.... I wonder if there is a mathematical way to come up with an average of say, the last two weeks... aren't there some Germans in this forum?

I say 3.2 a day.

A=S/N
"A = average (or arithmetic mean)
N = the number of terms (e.g., the number of items or numbers being averaged)
S = the sum of the numbers in the set of interest (e.g., the sum of the numbers being averaged)"

(courtesy of http://www.platinumgmat.com/gmat_stu...tatistics_mean)

So in your example of "sometimes" over a 3 day period would be

A=(2+3+4)/3
A=9/3
A=3

In this case the average would be 3. Over a two week period it would be A=(sum of articles a day)/14

And I'm not German

Sure, German here… and the average of the last 14 days (14th till 27th = 14 days) is 2.71428571428571 news per day

You cheated, you actually counted them

Wunderbar. Prüfen die ihre privaten nachrichten für ihre gewinncode.

Thanks.
Code works till 2015? OK then I will have enough time to use it. Please ignore what I've wrote before.

Question 4: Moving away from math questions,

and questions that can easily be answered with Google, we separate the men from the boys....

You just raised your scope and this is what you see: what is the class of this submarine?
