Input your commute distance so we can get some real stats.
There have been a lot of polls on commute distance. But none that can really give us a mean or median distance. So here is what I want to do. The first person, (me) posts their distance. The next person posts my distance plus their distance and the sum. The next person posts the sum, plus their distance.
That way, we keep a running total of how far our ROUND TRIP commutes are. We can get totals, averages, etc.
So if I post "28" the next person might post "28+24=52. Then the next person, who commutes 15 miles posts "52+15=67" and so on.
Do not post any other info. We can discuss the numbers here Ideally, at any point, the running total divided by the number of responses will equal the mean distance.
Current adjustment for mistakes is +18
And -1 from number of posts
