As of 2:30 (well, actually I'm writing at 2:24), we have the following regional stats, gleaned from Tim's page:

Stats
Average 50394.98551
Median 50105
Mode 50099

Quartile 1 (cutoff for bottom 25%) 44560
Quartile 2 (cutoff for middle 25%) 50105
Quartile 3 (cutoff for top 25%) 52748

There is a relatively narrow spread for the middle 50%. For those of you who don't know much about stats, what I'm saying is currently, half of the Naperwrimos have a WC in the range 44,560 - 52,748. The mean (average) and the median are fairly close together, so I suspect that the WC are at least approximately normally distributed.

As for myself, I have now passed the halfway mark, but I shall be firmly stuck in the lowest quartile. C'est la vie - there is always December!!

Just to note that the stats are from our voluntary opt-in scanposts wordcount graph, so the numbers are a good bit higher than they would be for the overall region (see, it is a good thing to opt into the wordcount graph :-) -- self-fulfilling prophecy).

But interesting statistical analysis. Thanks!

Forgot:

Standard Deviation 26781.88548

(which I find a little surprising, but then I have no past history to compare it to)
